Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument is a U.S. National Monument that includes the area around Mount St. Helens in Washington. The 110,000 acre (445 km2) area was set aside for research, recreation, and education. Mount Saint Helens erupted on May 18th, 1980, a deadly and hugely destructive event. Inside the monument, the environment has been left to respond naturally to the disturbance. Evergreen Faculty member Carrie Leroy is involved in long-term monitoring of the ecological succession taking place after the eruption.
