Earth Day Family Bonanza
Join RMFI for the Earth Day Family Bonanza, a RMFI Signature Volunteer Day in partnership with Generation Wild of the Pikes Peak Region. This is an Earth Day family-focused stewardship opportunity! Enjoy a fun few hours of trail stewardship at Bear Creek Regional Park East, suitable for ages 8 and older, followed by food and celebration! The RMFI Earth Day Family Bonanza will be a great way to get outside for Earth Day, give back to the community, earn an RMFI volunteer t-shirt, and enjoy a provided lunch for volunteers!
Pikes Peak Regional Crew Leader Training
Wednesday, April 30, Saturday, May 3 and Sunday, May 4, 2025.
The Pikes Peak Regional Crew Leader Training is an intensive training for experienced volunteers who are interested in becoming certified Volunteer Crew Leaders. Each year, thousands of volunteers donate their time to help care for parks, trails, and open spaces in the Pikes Peak Region. This generosity of time and labor is necessary for the upkeep of our local parks, but has also created a need for trained volunteer crew leaders who are able to assist land managers and stewardship organizations by leading these critical trail and restoration projects. While in the training, participants will learn how to lead safe, successful trail projects and develop basic trail construction and restoration skills. These Crew Leaders then go through a certification process involving two shadowing leadership workdays in partnership with the training organizations, RMFI, TOSC, and the City of Colorado Springs.
Volunteer This Season!
Volunteer opportunities for RMFI's 2025 season are beginning to open for registration. Join us at your favorite park or help us steward somewhere new this season!
Our Why
New RMFI Video
Check out the fabulous new video about "Our Why" filmed and created by Rob Hoff Imagery.
The staff on this event were amazing! I had great conversation with all of the staff and they all taught me something I did not know. The brief about the tools beforehand, how to make the trail and use the tools was great...I would love to attend another event when I visit my son in Colorado again! Thank You for a WONDERFUL experience!!
