In 2021, Friends of the Dillon Ranger District volunteers contributed almost 6k hours of work in our own backyard! This year we hope to use CO Gives Day donations to replace our FDRD van, "Rattles," who will no longer pass safety inspections. Safety for our staff is of utmost importance and we hope to add a new, much safer member to our FDRD fleet. Thanks in advance for your support! Take a look below to see what last year's CO Gives Day donations helped fund.
