Volunteer

Friends of the Inyo's volunteer stewardship programs let you give back while getting out on the lands you love. Volunteerism is the backbone of Friends of the Inyo; our hundreds of volunteers give their valuable time to help maintain and restore public lands. Opportunities range from single-day projects in the Buttermilk or Mammoth Lakes Basin to weeklong backcountry trips spanning nearly a week to solo monitoring and campsite inventory. Check the calendar to find out about upcoming volunteer opportunities, or email explore@friendsoftheinyo.org.

Become a Business Sponsor

Public lands are an asset to our businesses, our lifestyle and our community. If you're a business owner and want to invest in sustainable tourism and the health of Eastern Sierra public lands, consider supporting the Friends of the Inyo stewardship through a Business Sponsorship. All business sponsors get a listing and link on our website and a listing in our newsletter. Here are the suggested donation levels:

• $250 - Includes one Jeffrey Pine Journal business-card display a year
• $500 - Includes two Jeffrey Pine Journal business-card displays per year
• $1000 - Includes one stewardship event sponsorship per year and two business-card displays in the JPJ

In-kind donations from businesses are always welcome as well, including raffle prizes, tools, equipment and supplies.

Business supporters may additionally donate to the 1% for the Planet program. Friends of the Inyo is approved to receive donations through the this program, and meets their strict criteria for credibility and effectiveness.
