Get Involved
Volunteering offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature, gain hands-on conservation experience, and make a tangible difference in the health and beauty of our natural areas and trail system.
Partnership with Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado
Greeley Natural Areas and Trails has partnered with Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado (VOC) to host the Weld County Volunteer and Partnership Coordinator. This Coordinator connects Greeley residents with outdoor volunteer opportunities.
Partnering helps both organizations leverage limited resources. Working together allows us to make the most significant impact possible in local communities.
Learn more about the innovative partnership office model.

Upcoming Volunteer Opportunities
Signature Bluffs Primitive Trail & Habitat Stewardship, August 12 and 19
Volunteers will help improve visitor access while protecting sensitive habitat at Signature Bluffs. Work will focus on closing and revegetating informal social trails around the lake to reduce habitat disturbance and support native vegetation recovery.
Volunteers will also improve the designated primitive trail by widening and defining it, creating a safer and more welcoming route to fishing access points. This project is a good fit for new volunteers and anyone interested in learning more about trail restoration.

Russian Olive Tree Removal, October 20 and 21
Volunteers will help remove 10 to 15 foot Russian Olive trees, an invasive species that threatens native vegetation and wildlife habitat along the South Platte River corridor. This project includes roles for both chainsaw certified volunteers and general volunteers. Chainsaw certified volunteers will cut Russian Olive trees into manageable sections. Other volunteers will assist by moving cut material to a chipper staging area operated by the Forestry Division. Only certified sawyers are permitted to operate chainsaws.
