Request for Volunteers - 2024 Forestry Challenge
It's that time of year again! Everything is on track for our fall event season. Participation numbers are very high and we are expecting another record-breaking year. To see which schools are coming, you can go to our interactive map. If you are a forester and want to mentor a school in advance of their attendance at an event, look for schools with a question mark icon and let us know you are able to help.
Approximately 25 to 30 volunteers are needed per event. The event dates for the 2024 Forestry Challenge season are:
Shasta - September 25 - 28 at Mountain Meadows near Shingletown
Santa Cruz- October 9 - 12 at Redwood Glen near Loma Mar
El Dorado - October 23 - 26, at Leoni Meadows near Grizzly Flats
San Bernardino Session 1 - November 6 - 9 at Hume SoCal near Lake Arrowhead
San Bernardino Session 2 - November 13 - 16 at Hubert Eaton Scout Reservation near Lake Arrowhead
If you are able to spend as little as a few hours or as much as a few days, please visit the website and follow the link to the volunteer registration form at the top of the homepage. You can be reimbursed for mileage at the volunteer rate of 14 cents per mile, and meals and housing are provided. Volunteers also receive a fabulous event t-shirt! You are welcome to volunteer for any "job" that is best for your schedule and interest.
A list of "jobs", including the duties and hours for each, is linked here and also on the volunteer form.
