As a Volunteer Wilderness Ranger, you play a crucial role in the White River National Forest. You may be the only USDA Forest Service representative trail users ever see. Wilderness Rangers are friendly and informative, educating trail users on wilderness ethics and regulations. Often times you will be asked to identify wildlife, plants, and geography of the area. As a uniformed ranger you may even be asked to locate lost children and help with rescue operations! If you can't wait to put on hiking or riding boots, are in good physical shape, and love working outdoors, join us as a Volunteer Wilderness Ranger.

As a Forest Steward, you play a variety of roles from weed hounding to trail maintenance to educating visitors and the community about their Forest. If your passion is working outdoors, miles of trails beckon. If you prefer something less strenuous, you will have many opportunities for speaking at schools and campgrounds. Whatever your interests, background and talents, your skills can make you a true Steward of our Forest.

Do you enjoy meeting people from all over the world? If so, you're a natural Forest Ambassador. As an ambassador, you serve as the major source of information for visitors at public contact points on the Forest. These include the Forest Service District Offices and the Maroon Bells Information Center. Educating visitors on Forest rules and regulations is a key duty that helps to reduce negative impacts on the Forest. With your help, visitors can knowledgeably and safely plan adventures as they explore all that the Forest has to offer.

We need many volunteers with a variety of skills to keep the Forest Conservancy moving forward. You can help us plan events, write articles or take photographs for our newsletter, or join our fundraising efforts. You can help set the future direction of our organization by volunteering to serve on the Board of Directors. Whatever your skills and interests, the Forest Conservancy has a place for you.

The Forest Conservancy provides ongoing education and

training opportunities for all volunteers.

Volunteers come from the ranks of members; membership begins at $40 per year and helps to offset the cost of trainings, events and uniforms.
