Volunteering Outdoors
Single-Day Volunteer Stewardship Opportunities
Volunteers conduct vital work on the ground to heal, protect, discover, experience, and connect with the outdoors. Together we can keep our public lands and wilderness areas maintained and sustainable for all to enjoy for years to come!
Our partners offer volunteer opportunities for every skill level. Projects can include picking up trash, pulling fence, naturalizing old roads, planting seedlings, monitoring wilderness, removing invasive plants, restoring damaged wild lands, digging post holes, and improving infrastructure like trails, designated routes, wilderness boundary barriers and signage.
Single-day volunteer events require no overnight camping or previous experience to participate. Tools will be provided. There is no age limit for single-day volunteer events, but a guardian signature is required for participants under 18 years old.

Get Outdoors Nevada was originally formed in 2000 by a group of passionate Nevada outdoor enthusiasts and community leaders. Today, it is Get Outdoors Nevada’s mission and vision to connect Nevadans and visitors from all backgrounds and ages to the state’s diverse outdoor places through education, service, and community engagement. Many of their efforts and programs focus on the needs and lives of families and schoolchildren, especially those who are at-risk and often have limited opportunity to experience the great outdoors. Get Outdoors Nevada is committed to preserving Nevada’s public lands, urban trails, and community parks.
Friends of Nevada Wilderness have been connecting people with public lands in Nevada since 1984. In 2019 the Southern Nevada team worked with 274 volunteers, on 37 projects, contributing 3006 hours of volunteer work.
