Managing a national forest as large and varied as the Gila National Forest requires the efforts of not only dedicated employees, but a great many partners and volunteers who contribute greatly to the successful management of forest resources. Our partners help maintain recreation sites and trails, reduce hazardous fuels, restore watersheds, monitor wildlife populations, improve wildlife and fisheries habitat, inventory and monitor archeological and historic sites, provide input to proposed management activities, conduct conservation education programs, and respond to emergency incidents.
Our partners include a number of federal agencies, tribes, State of New Mexico, conservation organizations, universities, public entities and private citizens. Their assistance is provided through a number of avenues including various grants, partnerships, and volunteer efforts.
New for 2012 - A Full Year’s Calendar of Volunteering Opportunities
The Silver City and Glenwood Ranger Districts have combined their 2012 Trail Volunteer Projects into one calendar that spans the entire year. The calendar gives dates and most of the proposed projects for these two districts. We’re always looking for volunteers, so here’s a great way to plan to attend projects that interest you. Come, meet new people, and enjoy helping out on the Gila.
