Boulder County Parks & Open Space is now accepting applications for Volunteer Ranger Corps.
Members of the Volunteers Ranger Corps hike, bike, or ride a horse at Boulder County’s most scenic open spaces while providing park visitors with information about cultural and natural history, recreational opportunities, facilities, and regulations. With additional training and approval, volunteers can hike the trails with their dog to help share information with other dog owners on the trail.
Volunteers are required to attend five monthly academy trainings. Trainings, led by park rangers and natural resource managers, will prepare volunteers to lead and assist with community outreach, park patrol, visitor studies, and more.
Volunteers must be at least 18 or older. The application deadline is Friday, Nov. 16.
For more information and an application, go to www.BoulderCountyOpenSpace.
