Olympic National Park - Marmots in the Mountains — Join us for a weekend of volunteer stewardship from June 25-28, 2026 in beautiful Olympic National Park.

Primary Park Project: the primary park project for this event will by on June 27 when the park needs our help to set up for their “Artist in Residence” event called “Marmots in the Mountains” Marmots in the Mountains

When: June 25-28, 2026
Where: Olympic National Park 

Event Name: Marmots in the Park
Project Organizer: Bonnie Bulach (Park Liaison) / CoHost - Monica Bourke
Cost: $0.00 for volunteering / Campground:  $60.00/night

We have reserved 9 RV sites at The Log Cabin Resort.  All sites have water and electricity.  The Log Cabin Resort is located near food, restaurants and other essentials.  It is also an awesome place to kayak, stand up paddle board, canoe and generally recreate.  They also have shower and bathroom facilities.  You may bring a small RV (22ft or less) or you can pitch a tent.  

No meals will be provided for this event, however, we plan on having communal meals in the evening with a potluck one night.  

While we are reserved from June 25 - 28, currently, we only have one project workday planned.  As we get closer to the event and the volunteer office and the park are back to full seasonal status, we are hoping to add a Friday workday.  Stay tuned.

If you are interested in more information or you have signed up and want to reserve an RV site, please contact Bonnie Bulach at (757) 773-9571.

Timberland Trekkers amongst the Giant Sequoias — Join us for a weekend of volunteer stewardship from July 9–12, 2026 in beautiful Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks.
July 10 is an optional work day. Park projects are announced 1–2 weeks before the arrival date.

Past park projects have included: meadow restoration work, picking up trash in the museum parking lot, repair gill nets, truth grounding of giant trees, seed head collecting (just to name a few).

When: July 9–12, 2026
Where: Sequoia National Park, Tulare County, California
Event Name: Sequoia Sisters - Timberland Trekkers
Project Organizer: Monica Bourke (Park Liaison)
Cost: $35.00 (you may bring your donation when you arrive — the fee covers the cost of all four provided meals)

We will be tent camping in a primitive setting at Wolverton Service Camp. No tent? No problem! Just let Monica Bourke know, and extra tents can be provided.

The campground has ample potable water, porta potties are on site, and a dump tank for all gray water. There is usually toilet paper well stocked in the facilities; however, I recommend you bring some of your own personal toilet supplies just in case.

Due to bear activity in the area, all food, cosmetics, and anything scented must be stored in one of the many bear boxes on the site. Plenty of bear boxes exist, so medium size coolers can easily be accommodated.

There are no showers at the camp; however, the showers at Lodgepole (2 miles away) should be open. Lodgepole also has a restaurant, grocery items, and a camp store in case you need anything while you are there.

There will probably be NO FIRES allowed at Wolverton Camp; however, if fire alerts are low, the camp sometimes permits fires.

The camp is at 7000 feet, and it gets cold at night. Please bring lots of warm layers. Also, please allow yourself time to adjust to the altitude when you arrive.

Phone / Connectivity

A Verizon tower was erected in 2023, and for those who have Verizon, you may be able to get cell phone service in and around the campground. However, most of the park has no cell phone service, and the closest tower is 45 minutes away.

What to Bring

A complete list of what to bring will be covered once the group has been identified.

Camp Host / Emergencies

There is a camp host who lives on-site. If there are emergencies, the host is available to intervene.

Pets

NO DOGS are allowed in the camp or on the trails in the park. Please leave all your fur babies at home.
