The Friends of Bandelier are private citizens who love the monument. A Board of Trustees governs our activities under a formal Memorandum of Agreement with the National Park Service. Park rangers request help on special projects and we try to meet their needs. We keep our membership informed of Friends' activities, and of key issues affecting the monument, through letters, field trips, and announcements in the local newspapers.

The Friends of Bandelier try to help where we can do the most good. We provide support for:

• Archaeology

• Education

• Handicapped Access

• Native Crafts

• Visitor Amenities

• Scientific Research

• Youth Programs

We invite you to join us in supporting Bandelier National Monument.
