Volunteer with a Partner!
Volunteers are an important part of caring for the land and serving the people on the Bitterroot National Forest. We couldn't do our mission without our Partners! To find a partner group you are interested in volunteering with, visit our list of Partners.
Volunteer as a Campground Host!
The Bitterroot National Forest has many developed campgrounds situated in beautiful settings. Campground hosts play an important role in assisting with the management of these beautiful areas and working with the public. Camp hosts are rewarded with a place to stay during the summer, lasting friendships, and a sense of pride in the work accomplished in making the developed sites safe and communicating with the public about our National Forests.
For those interested in campground hosting opportunities please return the Campground Host Volunteer Application to Erica Strayer at the Darby Ranger District, P.O. Box 388, Darby, MT 59829 or email the form to erica.strayer@usda.gov.
