Volunteering on Mark Twain National Forest
Public involvement plays an important part in managing our national forest lands.
The national forests, grasslands, and prairies are there for you to enjoy because
many people have served over numerous years to preserve, protect and improve
them. We rely more and more on volunteers to assist with campgrounds, identify
and preserve historic sites, build and maintain trails, and to accomplish other
projects because the Forest Service, like other government agencies, has a
limited budget. We extend a warm welcome to all who wish to volunteer on the
Mark Twain National Forest.
Volunteering isn't just beneficial for the forests, it benefits you. It's
fun, it can give you the opportunity to pursue a special interest, it has the
potential to enrich and improve your life, and gives you a chance to give back
to a forest or community.
Some of our featured volunteer opportunities include Campground Hosts, Adopt-a-Trail,
Passport in Time, and other Trail Maintenance Opportunities. To find out
how you can volunteer, please contact the district office where you would
like
to help. Their contact information can be found on the "CONTACT" page or the Forest Volunteer coordinator, Jane Mobley at 573-996-2153.
