Volunteers:
Volunteers are the heartbeat of the USDA Forest Service. The Volunteer program was formalized with the National Forest Act of 1972. National forests, grasslands, and prairies are here for us to enjoy because many people have served over the years to preserve, protect and improve them. Now you can give something back by volunteering.
A diversity of projects and positions are available offering each person a chance to participate in an activity that meets their individual or group interests.

If you are retired or have summers free, live on a national forest while you work as a volunteer.
