Adopt a Spot at Bandelier

You’ve heard of adopt a park! You’ve heard of adopt a highway! Well, now at Bandelier 

National Monument, you could adopt a spot! We have mapped out a few areas around our 

visitor center, around the main Pueblo Loop Trail, and out to Alcove House! These areas 

are in need of constant monitoring whether it is invasive weed pulling, trash pick-up, 

resource data collection, etc. We are asking volunteers to come down and pick an area 

that best suits your physical needs, and you could be passionate about. You could choose 

an area by the historic buildings/visitor center to be closer to your car and bathrooms, or 

you could choose to be out in an area that is a little more secluded to double as solo 

relaxation time as well! Time commitments are subject to each person. If you can come an 

hour a week, great! If you can come 4 hours a month, great! If your spot is needing extra 

TLC, you can be here all day every day! Different sites will require different trainings. Spots 

will be first come, first serve and not assigned until training is complete.
