About Volunteering

Volunteers are the heartbeat of the Forest Service.

The types of work a volunteer can perform are many and varied; the only tasks a volunteer can not carry out are those associated with law enforcement.

Your talents and skills are matched with your work preference to obtain a role that satisfies you and best fulfills the mission of the Forest Service.

You may work on a part-time or full-time basis. You can participate in a one-time project or server over several months, seasons, or year-round.

Anyone 18 years or older may apply to become a volunteer.

If you are under the age of 18 you may still participate by working with your family, group, club, or responsible adult.

Experience/ Training?

What kind of experience/training do I need?

No experience is required for most positions. But if you have a special experience that you would think be valuable to the forest, please let us know. All training will be provided if your volunteer project requires it.
