Friends of the Inyo leads a variety of volunteer opportunities from short events to multi-day wilderness stewardship. 

• Wilderness Weeks (Multi-Day Volunteering Opportunities). Every year, Friends of the Inyo partners with our U.S. National Forest partners to take volunteers into the backcountry wilderness to maintain trails, restore campsites, dismantle and clear out obsolete cattle fencing, and more. Wilderness projects take place in scenic, remote locations throughout the high country. In past years we’ve traveled to Fourth Recess Lake, Humphreys Basin, Shadow Creek, and Cottonwood Creek.
• Clean Up Events (Half-Day Volunteering Opportunities). Annual clean up events include June Lake trails day, Adopt-a-Crag events in climbing areas, and National Public lands day projects.
• Direct Service Projects. (Half-Day Volunteering Opportunities.) Various direct service projects help the community give back while supporting our policy campaigns for permanent protection. Examples include helping with standardized wilderness assessment surveys or repairing fencing to protect Cottonwood Creek and the Bodie Hills. 

Find volunteer opportunities when they are available by visiting our events calendar. There you will find the particulars about each volunteering opportunity, where to meet, what to bring, etc., and will be able to fill out a sign-up form for whatever volunteer event calls out to you. 

Thank you!
