The Cape Perpetua Scenic Area offers a variety of volunteer opportunities, ranging from visitor center front desk operations, trail roving, presenting interpretive programs and more. Volunteers play a vital role in helping us accomplish our goals and augment staff in day-to-day operations and on special projects. As a volunteer, you choose an area of interest to you and we match your skills and interests with our needs. You can participate in a one-time project or serve over several months, seasons or year-round.

Cape Perpetua Scenic Area encompasses 2,700 acres of coastal habitat and was set aside for its exceptional ecological characteristics. A 26-mile trail system offers many opportunities to experience this lush and diverse temperate rainforest. Towering 800 feet over the Pacific Ocean, the Cape Perpetua headland is the highest viewpoint accessible by car on the Oregon Coast. From this high point, enjoy views of the Cape Perpetua Marine Reserve and the rugged and rocky shore where visitors can witness the power of the ocean as it meets the forest.
