Volunteer Information

Laguna Mountain Volunteer Association

The Laguna Mountain Association is a not-for-profit group of dedicated volunteers that works closely with the United States Forest Service to provide recreational and environmental opportunities for visitors to the Laguna Mountain Recreation Area (and to just have some fun with each other).

Schedule of Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteer service projects are a great way to give back to the land, and feel good about it in the process. Most of our projects are held outdoors in the fresh air, surrounded by our beautiful public lands. If you'd like information about the current projects and how to join one, please visit this page.

Volunteer Opportunities on the Trabuco Ranger District

The Trabuco Ranger District, surrounded by Orange and Riverside Counties, has a variety of volunteer opportunities available.

Campground Host Program

Campground hosts are volunteers who work and live at a National Forest campground. It's a wonderful opportunity to meet different people, learn about an area, and serve the nation's public.

United States Coast Guards Lends a Helping Hand

The Cleveland National Forest extends a huge thanks to the volunteers of the United States Coast Guard who helped clean up trash and remove debri from the Forest. Great work guys! If you have a group that would like to volunteer your efforts, please contact us - together we can best manage your public lands!
