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 cannot carry out are those associated with law enforcement.
On the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests and Pawnee National Grassland
(ARP), volunteers provide immeasurable benefits to the land.
In 2002, the Canyon Lakes Ranger District was the number one recreational
volunteer forest in the country. Volunteers dedicate hundreds of hours
of service and accomplished projects to enhance recreational opportunities
across the ARP.
There are multiple opportunities for volunteers on the ARP from trail
work to education to restoration, and much much more. You can participate
in a one-time project or serve over several months, seasons or year-round
in various programs. Every person who donates their time makes a significant
contribution to our public lands.
Coordination
Volunteering can offer valuable experience and lifelong memories.
Give it a try! Contact the forest volunteer coordinator for information
and a volunteer application

Projects can range from a single-day project to a long-term undertaking
lasting for several months and are available forest-wide.
What captures your interest—trail work, campground host,
bird surveys, information receptionist, wilderness restoration,
conservation education? There are many ways to transfer your love
of the land to the active management of the land.
Opportunities on the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests and
Pawnee National Grassland include days such as National
Public Land's Day. Programs include seasonal opportunities such
as visitor information hosts. Year-round activities include patrols,
Adopt-a-road and Adopt-a-trail groups. |
Why Volunteer?
The ARP is a resource we all own, and volunteering is one way to

land we all enjoy. There are multiple benefits to volunteering,
such as...
- Earning college credits through volunteer internships
- Diversifying your job experience
- Providing community service
- Increasing your career choices
- Meeting people and forming new friendships
- Exercising while serving the land
- Expanding your mind
- Having fun
