Volunteers
Volunteering
The Bighorn National Forest welcomes efforts from individuals and groups that wish to assist in the management of their national forest lands. Caring for the Bighorn National Forest and serving the needs of the people who use it is a big job. We could not accomplish this mission without the help of people like you. No matter what your training, experiences, or interest, there is likely a volunteer position where you can get involved and feel good about your accomplishments. We can also arrange special programs such as internships, service projects, or workdays for your group. View our Partnership Opportunity Guide for upcoming projects and events.
