Volunteer: Gain While You give
Are you willing to take a few minutes during your trip
to help preserve this unique area? Will you and your group
make a commitment to doing just a "little bit extra" to
ensure that the next visitor has a quality experience.
The Forest Service needs your help! While each
visitor is responsible for the following area rules
and regulations, picking up litter, and following
minimum-impact camping practices, successful preservation
of the Superior National Forest, including the Boundary
Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW), depends on the
help of a special group of people known as Superior
National Forest Volunteers.
Volunteers are those visitors who are willing to spend
a little more time and effort in their role as "caretakers"
of their National Forest. Volunteer commitments can
range from spending a few extra minutes picking up
trash to spending an entire summer as a Wilderness
Rehabilitator, restoring worn BWCAW campsites to a
more natural condition.
Volunteers may choose where they spend their time,
whether it be in the BWCAW or outside of the wilderness.
Projects also are available for groups to work on
for a weekend or a week.
Listed below are just some of the opportunities available
for the right person who wants to "gain while you
give":
Volunteering is not for everyone. It does provide
an opportunity not found elsewhere, however an opportunity
to help maintain and improve Superior National Forest
lands-- to gain valuable work experience-- to work
with others who share the same concerns about the
management of National Forests-- and to have the satisfaction
of helping to enrich and preserve a heritage for future
generations.
If your are that special person-- one who is ready
to accept the challenge and responsibility of doing
your part to preserve your National Forest, whether
you want to spend the summer of are willing to spend
a little extra time picking up litter on a weekend
trip, write or call for more information. We need
your help!
For more information,
please contact a Superior National Forest
office nearest you.
