Volunteers

"Caring for the Land, Serving People." These six words sum up the Forest Service's mission which is made possible by volunteer stewards like you. A wide range of volunteers of all abilities help the Gifford Pinchot National Forest with critical stewardship activities year-round. As a volunteer with the Forest Service, you will: 

  • Learn new skills and gain confidence working in the outdoors.
  • Contribute to important projects and make a positive impact on public lands that present and future generations will enjoy.
  • Meet new people and make new friends.

How to get Involved
