Support Your Park

Do your part

America’s National Parks belong to everyone. Support from the public is essential to maintain them. This support can come in many forms: financial, gifts of material goods, volunteer efforts, or political support.

There are many different ways to support  Tuzigoot National Mounument. One of the easiest and best ways to show your love of Tuzigoot is to come visit and to share your love with friends and family under the stars, among the cactus.

Join the Park Volunteer Team

If you are interested in getting more involved here in the monument, consider volunteering. Our volunteers can work anytime of the year and in any division. They help us in the Visitor Center. They remove exotic plants from the park. They travel out with researchers collecting data and entering data for number crunching later. We love our volunteers and would love to consider having you joing our team.

Paying your fees or purchasing a pass

Tuzigoot National Monument participates in the Congressionally authorized Federal Recreation Lands Enhancement Act. Under this program, parks keep 80% of all fees collected; the remaining 20% will be deposited in a special account to be used in parks where fees are not collected. Funds generated by the fees are used to accomplish projects the parks have been unable to fund through yearly Congressional allocations. That means that when you pay your fees or buy a pass your money goes directly back into the park.

Did You Know?
Leading settlers and vast herds of livestock into New Mexico in 1598, Don Juan de Onate crossed the Rio Grande at what became El Paso. Onate then followed indigenous routes along the river, thus establishing the general route of El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro, which was used for almost 300 years.
