Volunteer Program Highlight
______________________________________________________________________________

With the exception of one program that had an unusually high number of hours last year, volunteer participation increased in almost every category in 2012. Most notably, participation in our Meadow Rover program grew significantly with the help of volunteer Meadow Rover managers. Large numbers of volunteers participated in numerous SARs during the summer. Our partnerships with the Washington Trails Association and others continued to be robust. Boy Scout participation increased. We hosted 11 Geologist-in-Parks or Geoscience-Teachers-in-Parks; 10 Teacher-Ranger-Teachers; and 12 international volunteers. We worked with 7 SCA interns and two 10-person crews, as well as 3 interns from Evergreen State College.
