Get Outside. Give Back. Build Community.
From family-friendly work days to remote backcountry conservation projects, everyone is invited to care for our region’s public lands. Whether you’re an avid local trail user or just visiting the region and want to spend a day outdoors, RFOV needs your help. You’ll meet new people and enjoy nature, all while giving back to our one-of-a-kind trails and natural spaces.
Find the Right Fit for You
RFOV has a variety of volunteer opportunities for people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds. The physicallity required for every project differs based on the worksite location and specific work tasks. Volunteers will be able to self-select into crews based upon the strenuousness of the work to be completed within each crew. All RFOV community projects are delineated into the following 3 difficulty levels:
Easy
Ex: walking under a mile to worksite, seeding, corridor vegetation management, small container planting, etc.
Moderate
Ex: walking between 1-2 miles to worksite, trail tread maintenance, barbed-wire removal, large container planting, etc.
Challenging
Ex: walking up to 7 miles to worksite, overnight projects, extensive rock work, working on unstable terrain, etc.
Never been to a project? No problem!
Roughly 50% of volunteers who participate in trail projects are first-timers. And you’ll get to know other cool folks who also love trails. Check out our What to Expect page for all the details.
