Sustainable Trails

Give back to the lands we all love

Well-maintained trails connect us with nature while minimizing disturbances to the land. Join WRV as we bring our restoration focus and expertise to popular trails from city open spaces to Colorado’s highest peaks, for the benefit of nature and recreationists alike!

Volunteer opportunities are posted on our calendar, where you can browse upcoming projects, view details, and sign up based on your interests, location, and availability.
