Lost River Ranger District

Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers make many important contributions to the Lost River Ranger District and there are many opportunities for volunteers to work on the district.  See some of the contributions volunteers have made on the district. Volunteer work gives people an opportunity to actively participate in the management of their National Forests.  For those who are pursuing a career in natural resource management, volunteer work also provides a way to gain work experience.  When evaluating work experience, many employers, including the Forest Service, consider volunteer work experience the same as paid work experience.  Some of the volunteer opportunities on the district include:

1. Assisting with fish, wildlife, and range management
2. Assisting with campground and trail projects Summarizing and analyzing data
3. Assisting with our Geographic Information System (GIS) Digital imaging
4. Assisting with the development of our web page
5. Building and refurbishing signs, picnic tables, or other items

Volunteer opportunities are available year round, have time commitments ranging from a few hours to several months, and require between 1 and 50 people.  If you or your group would be interested in volunteering on our district please contact us at:
