Volunteers are the heartbeat of the Forest Service. The types of
work a volunteer can perform are many and varied. It is a program
that has something for everyone - retirees, professionals, students,
and young people, as well as service clubs and youth groups. Some
volunteers work full-time for a short period of time, while others
donate a few hours a day each week or contribute a one-time service.
If you would like to volunteer for any of the projects listed on
the linked pages below, or would like to speak with someone regarding
volunteering in general, please contact us. Each of our Ranger
Districts has a Volunteer Coordinator who can help get you started!
In general, volunteers should be prepared with long-sleeved shirts,
long pants, boots, and gloves; we will provide hard hats and other
protective equipment when necessary. We appreciate your willingness
to donate your time and services.
Adopt-A-Trail
The Spanish Fork Ranger District has implemented an opportunity
for individuals or groups to adopt
their favorite trail! This allows anybody who wishes to volunteer,
to dedicate their time and effort to improving and maintaining their
favorite hiking trails!
Salt Lake Ranger District
The district operates a volunteer program in partnership with the Cottonwood Canyons Foundation during June through September only. Individuals, eagle scout candidates, scout troops, businesses, and other groups may participate in primary focus areas of trail work and invasive weed pulls. Volunteers are also needed at Silver Lake Visitor Center each summer to patrol area trails, pick up trash, speak with visitors, and assist in environmental education programs. There may be opportunities for college interns throughout the year depending on field of study. Please call the district Volunteer Hotline at (801) 733-2667 and leave a message regarding your interest. Your call will be returned by the Summer Volunteer Coordinator who will discuss your interest and scheduling.
