Testimonials

When I complete a project with RFOV, I feel like I should pay them for the wonderful experience they just provided me.” 

- John Westropp, RFOV Volunteer & Member

"Working with RFOV gives me a chance to give back to the places that bring me so much joy.  Not only is it an organized and focused group that guides volunteers to the best way to have an impact - but it is also a unified community that shares a collective passion to protect the places we play for future generations to come." 

- Jake Wheeler, RFOV Volunteer

"Think of what we could accomplish if every trail user between Independence Pass and Parachute would volunteer for one day, once a year."

Background Statement

Roaring Fork Outdoor Volunteer (RFOV) was founded in 1995 to fill the need for community partnerships with public agencies and municipalities as well as conservation-minded organizations, to unite volunteers, and provide resources to complete hands-on stewardship for public lands. Built off of the successful model of the Appalachian Trail Club and Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado, each year RFOV selects projects that will have long-lasting value and educate trail users about land ethics and management. Additionally, our Young Stewards Initiative focuses on inspiring and encouraging the next generation of land stewards through school and group volunteer days.
