Get Out, Give Back.

Help care for the lands you love by joining Friends of the Inyo's stewardship corps!

We work hand in hand with federal agencies such as the Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management and the National Park Service to restore healthy public lands ecosystems through trail maintenance, road and trail restoration, habitat monitoring and improvement, removal of invasive species, and maintenance to limit the expansion of the human imprint in natural environments.

Friends of the Inyo is able to contribute in a real way to the protection, enhancement and restoration of public lands through the many citizen volunteers, young and old; local and distant; individuals and groups who lend thier hands and hearts as members of the Eastern Sierra Stewardship Corps - a group of people working together, giving back to their public lands.

Here are some ways to get involved:

• Fish Slough Volunteer Patrol, an endangered species and habitat monitoring program. Additionally, Friends of the Inyo is involved in monitoring routes on both Inyo National Forest and BLM lands. For more details on the different stewardship programs, click below or check out our calendar of events.
• Mammoth Lakes Summer of Stewardship: Join us for the second year of daylong volunteer events to clean up some of the favorite places around Mammoth, like Horseshoe Lake, Duck Pass Trail, Sherwin Lakes Trail and Inyo Craters.
• Wilderness Stewardship: Join a multi-day backcountry trip to care for some of the most spectacular trails and locations in the Sierra!

Do you have a favorite trail in need of some TLC? A lake that needs a clean up? Have a group looking for an educational and rewarding time out helping our public lands? Or are interested in adopting an area? Please contact Stacy at Stacy@friendsoftheinyo.org or 760-873-6500.
