VOLUNTEER FOR FORESTWATCH

Our volunteers can be found doing all sorts of work, like monitoring forest damage, leading hikes, helping out at special events, and attending mailing parties. Volunteers are essential to many of our programs. We're currently looking for help with:

  • Community Events – Help us organize and prepare for events around town, such as public workshops, hikes, and tabling at events and festivals.

  • Fundraising Events - Assist us with house parties and other fundraising events to help support our programs.

  • Mailing Parties – Join us as we stuff envelopes, label our newsletters, and socialize.  We provide the food and drinks!

  • Field Monitoring - Spend a day in the field to monitor and record environmental damage. Requires long days in remote areas of the forest.

  • Habitat Restoration - We currently have three habitat restoration projects: (1) microtrash cleanups to protect condors, (2) fence removal projects to give pronghorn antelope the freedom to roam, and (3) survey and removal of invasive tamarisk plants along rivers.

  • Special Projects – If you have a creative talent to offer or would like to contribute your area of expertise, we might be able to put your skills to work on one of our special projects.
