WE NEED YOUR HELP
The City of Fort Collins Natural Areas Program manages thousands of acres of natural areas.

Volunteers are a vital component in the Natural Areas Program's stewardship and conservation efforts. We couldn't do it without you! For more detailed information call 970-416-2480 or send an to Susan Schafer.

Adopt-a-Natural Area Responsibilities and Rewards
-
ONE YEAR COMMITMENT: The adopting organization commits to a one-year period of adoption. The organization may then renew, change, or terminate the agreement.
-
PICK UP LITTER: The adopting group monitors the natural area for litter and commits to keeping it clean on a regular basis, usually once a month.
-
KEEP A RECORD: The adopting organization keeps records of their volunteer hours and coordinates the date and time of visits to the adopted natural area with staff.
-
REWARDS and RECOGNITION: Natural areas are special places in our community so volunteers feel great knowing that they are contributing to Natural Areas stewardship! Adopting a natural area is a great way to get to know one natural area in-depth. Visitors to your adopted site will appreciate your efforts too because everyone loves a clean natural area! You'll also be invited to our annual volunteer appreciation event which is a fun way to meet other volunteers and staff and be recognized for your service.
