The Deschutes National Forest in partnership with the non-profit stewardship organization, Discover Your Forest, is hosting a Volunteer Recruitment Event on April 9 to find volunteers interested in supporting educational and interpretive programs at Newberry National Volcanic Monument and Mt Bachelor.
The Volunteer Recruitment event will be held on Thursday, April 9, from 6 to 7:30pm at the Deschutes National Forest, Bend-Fort Rock Ranger District, 63095 Deschutes Market Road, in Bend. The event is focused on recruiting volunteers to serve as rangers; however, people interested in other volunteer opportunities are welcome to attend the event.
Volunteer rangers represent the U.S. Forest Service at Lava Lands Visitor Center, Lava River Cave, Paulina Visitor Center and Mt Bachelor. Duties include delivering formal interpretive talks, assisting in Junior Ranger programs and providing guided hikes and tours. Volunteers are provided uniforms and training. Volunteers who serve as rangers are asked to commit to at least one day per week from early May to September 30, 2015.
