Susan Watson was a member of the Lassen Park Foundation. She has also served on other local environmental organizations: as
Board President of Save Mount Diablo, President of the Contra Costa Parks Council, Director of People for Open Space, and
as a member of the East Bay Regional Park Advisory Committee.
The Lassen Park Foundation was formed to assist the National Park Service in raising private funds to help build a visitor
center for Lassen Volcanic National Park. A joint project that brought together the U.S. Forest Service, National Park Service
and Lassen Park Foundation, constructed "Lassen Crossroads," a visitor orientation facility outside the northern entrance
to Lassen Volcanic National Park. Dedicated in 2000, this facility is an unstaffed and seasonal orientation center which acquaints
visitors with what they can see and do in the national park and on U.S. Forest lands. In 2000, Superintendent Marilyn H. Parris
proposed erecting a year-round visitor center at the southwest entrance to Lassen Volcanic National Park. In the summer of
2005, Parris' successor, Mary Martin, arrived and oversaw completion of the design concept. Her successor, Darlene M. Koontz,
dedicated the new Kohm Yah-mah-nee Visitor Center on Sept. 20, 2008.
