Get Involved

Your tax deductible contribution helps to support our efforts to educate the public and our elected leaders of the importance of preserving Tule Springs. Now that the Monument has been created by Congress, our efforts will focus on volunteering our time and effort to assist the National Park Service in whatever way we can. We will work with our Congressional Delegation in getting the necessary funding, but will also partner with local community groups to build trails and access points into the Monument.

Members can volunteer to participate in many events throughout the year with hands-on activities for children, including the Las Vegas Science Festival, Get Outdoors Nevada Day, National Fossil Day, Nellis Military Appreciation Days, Clark County Trail Days and presentations to schools and community groups. Members can also be trained to lead hikes and other on-monument activities.

As a member, you and your guests will have the first choice of slots on any interpretive walks, access to special tours, and the quarterly newsletter keeping you apprised of recent and upcoming events.

Please join our efforts and support us as we create America’s next National Monument!
