Protecting one of America's greatest treasures
The Grand Canyon is recognized as one of the greatest natural wonders in the world. Home to nine endemic species found nowhere else, it contains over 1,750 plant species in the park and covers five of the seven life zones studied by C. Hart Merriam. This diverse, vast area of land is threatened by invasive species and human impacts that affect the natural landscape, altering the very essence of the Grand Canyon.
Projects led by the Grand Canyon Trust
The Volunteer Program works in partnership with Grand Canyon National Park staff to create opportunities for citizens to become stewards and initiate positive change for this irreplaceable natural wonder. There are many opportunities to protect this unique place of beauty and inspiration. Projects include invasive species work, botanical inventory and springs assessments.
