Introducing the Interagency Volunteer Pass
What are the benefits of the pass? The pass covers the entrance and/or standard amenity fees on lands managed by the Forest Service, National Park Service, US Fish & Wildlife Service, Bureau of Reclamation, and Bureau of Land Management. Passes are valid for one year from issuance date.
How can I qualify for a Volunteer Pass? Accrue just 500 hours of volunteer service on participating Federal public lands (beginning in 2007) and you can receive the new Volunteer Pass in recognition of your efforts. Simply coordinate tracking of your hours with your volunteer supervisor or volunteer coordinator.
For information related to the Volunteer Pass on National Forest lands, please contact a volunteer coordinator.
