Happy National Volunteer Week

With this week being National Volunteer Week, it only seemed appropriate to revisit Rocky Mountain Conservancy – Conservation Corps’ volunteer efforts over the years and celebrate all of the work completed to help support the continued protection and stewardship of Rocky Mountain National Park and the Arapaho-Roosevelt National Forests.

Since 2003, Rocky Mountain Conservancy – Conservation Corps has provided 223 youth with an eleven week internship volunteering on our nation’s public lands. This amounts to a total of 98,120 volunteer hours! Over the course of this time, the Conservation Corps has completed numerous projects related:

  • Trail maintenance
  • Structure building
  • Watershed restoration
  • Revegetation
  • Hazard tree removal
  • Fire fuels reduction
  • Visitor safety and education
  • Campground restoration
  • Bear bin and trail sign installation
