VOLUNTEERING

You work hard. You get dirty. Your muscles get tired and sore. You get blisters, bug bites and rained on. You don’t get paid and you call it fun. You are a volunteer! You are the heartbeat of the Forest Service. Here on the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest volunteers perform a variety of activities from forest conservation to trail restoration.
