Volunteers

Siuslaw National Forest works with many partners to deliver volunteer stewardship activities. Connecting with one of these partners is the best way to pursue volunteer opportunities on national forest lands. Here are a few ways volunteers provide critical help on national forests:

• Act as campground hosts
• Build and maintain trails
• Cleanup beaches
• Remove invasive weeds

Additional volunteer opportunities across the country on public lands can be found at www.volunteer.gov.
