Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness Foundation:
Trail Ambassadors: With more people using the A-B Wilderness than ever, we are seeing a lot of negative impact on the ecosystem. Trail ambassadors make friendly contact with hikers on busy trails and educate them about Leave No Trace practices and other impact minimization strategies. They give out pamphlets and gear, record information about usage for the Forest Service, and pick up trash as they hike. The Forest Service has identified this as our most important program, and we really need volunteers! Who doesn’t want to fulfill volunteer hours while hiking East Rosebud or Westfork!? We comprehensively train volunteers, so even if they don’t have tons of experience in the backcountry they will be prepared and confident!
Duration of Commitment: Half Day
Date(s): Weekends between June 1 and September 31
