If you live in Fort Collins or the northern Colorado area, TWP has many volunteer opportunities. In the spring and the fall we plant native trees and shrubs at our three Outdoor Classrooms and at other sites in and around Fort Collins. Our volunteers range in age from kids to senior citizens, and have included in the past Cub Scout troops, church groups, student groups, service club members, and other people and families from the community. See the Environmental Education page for more information about TWP's local community resource protection activities.

If you can't make it to any of our planting events, you or your group can volunteer to "Adopt an Outdoor Classroom." We are looking for volunteers to take care of our four Outdoor Classrooms in much the same way groups volunteer to adopt a trail or roadway. The City of Fort Collins Utilities department will place signs at each Outdoor Classroom with the name of the group, individual, or family who had adopted the classroom.

Please contact Elizabeth Mozer at TWP for more information on how you can volunteer. You can always call us at 970-484-3678, too.

On-going volunteer needs

Planting, weeding, mulching xeriscape demonstration garden. This garden is around the TWP office and is ready for some spring time care! We have plants that need to go into the ground, weeds that need to come out & mulch to put down as well. Please call or email if you're interested in helping out. So far we have had some excellent help, but there is always more to be done!

Database input. TWP is a part of a program where we get a dollar and a name for every T-shirt sold by a local company called Your True Nature. We need to get all those names into a database so we can be paid for them and we could use your help!

Internships

If you are a local college student looking for experience in natural resource managment (forestry, water, solar, sustainable technology), public relations, or nonprofit development, we are always looking for interns. We are also looking for an IT intern to help us with our network & other computer dramas! Give us a call and we'll find a project that fits your interests.
