Date of Events: Any weekdays, depending on your availability.

Actions Requested: At any point in time, indicate any weekday (and at least 5.5 hours) that you would like to volunteer in the forest.

In an effort to provide more opportunities for hands-on forestry experience, we offer an ongoing volunteer project called "Weekday Field Forestry Days."

The idea is simple. You may have time during the week (e.g. Monday-Friday, between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.) when you would like to volunteer. If you can volunteer for at least 5.5 hours, it's worth a trip into the forest! If you contact us in advance to plan a Field Forestry Day, we will facilitate the project day. As always, we provide transportation, lunch and equipment.

Field Forestry Days include, but are not limited to, felling, bucking and climbing trees, piling slash, skidding downed trees with an ATV, general forest clean-up, burning slash piles (when snow is on the ground), milling, splitting logs for firewood and other appropriate tasks.

Some duties, such as chainsaw work, require a specific level of training, but most duties do not require formal training. There is a lot to do in the forest!

This is an ongoing opportunity. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to ask.
