MEAD Alternative High School returns to Mount Rainier

MEAD Alternative High School, from Spokane, is one of our longest-running volunteer groups, having participated in volunteer projects with students since 1997. They were back again this year, doing native planting work with our crews at Paradise and staying in the Longmire Volunteer Campground. In fact, we have 5,361 hours of service on the books for this school already, not counting this year, with groups ranging in size from 17 to 31 and working on both trails maintenance and revegetation. Thank you, MEAD, for your ongoing commitment to the stewardship of your national park!
