Volunteers
Public involvement plays an important part in managing our national forest lands. Many Region 9 forests, grasslands, and prairies rely more and more on volunteers to assist with campgrounds and other programs. Concerned citizens help the forest to provide better wildlife habitat, identify and preserve historic sites, and build and maintain trails. We extend a warm welcome to all who wish to volunteer on Region 9 Forests, Grasslands, Prairies.
For more information about volunteering for specific projects on the forest, please contact the volunteer coordinator at the Supervisor's office.
Artist-in-Residence (AiR) Program
The arts have been inspired by the natural world since time immemorial. In recent centuries artists have used their creativity to tell the stories of America’s public lands, often leading to the preservation or conservation of those lands for the greater good. Through the Artist-in-Residence (AiR) Program, we seek to foster creative expressions that tell the stories of the forest.
