2025 Volunteer Events:
In partnership with Rocky Mountain National Park, we’re excited to host a variety of public volunteer events in the coming months. Information on upcoming events is listed below. Keep an eye on this page for additional volunteer activities as they are confirmed.
Invasive Plant Volunteer Days in Rocky Mountain National Park: July 2, July 11
Managing invasive plants in Rocky Mountain National Park is a perennial issue. These species can threaten native plants and the wildlife that rely on them for habitat and food. Through hands-on manual control methods, you can play a vital role in restoring the natural balance of the park. Work alongside park staff and learn how to identify these species along with proper removal techniques. Working together, we can lend a hand to our native vegetation and help stem the tide of these invasive plants from taking over our park. Help us to protect biodiversity in Rocky Mountain National Park and promote ecosystem health by removing these invasive species!

The Rocky Mountain Conservancy provides volunteer stewardship opportunities for organized youth and corporate groups in partnership with Rocky Mountain National Park Staff.
