Group Volunteer Projects

Group Volunteer Projects are a great way for your local business, recreational, social, youth, school or community group to give back to their public lands. Your group can positively impact the community & environment by helping with projects such as trail maintenance, litter cleanups, fence removal, and more.  

Complete a request form on Offero which assists us in determining the right project for your group. You'll need to sign-up for an Offero user account. 

Go to offero.larimer.org to request a group volunteer project. 
If you are part of an organization looking to hold training events on Larimer County Department of Natural Resources property (Horsetooth Reservoir, Carter Lake or Big Thompson Districts), we ask that you complete a request form that allows us to plan for your visit.

Brought to you by Climate Smart, Future Ready - Take a Knowledge Break with us—an engaging, snack-fueled series of quick, informative sessions over your lunch hour! Each month, we'll explore topics like land protection, electric vehicles, energy efficiency, water planning, and more. Come curious, leave inspired! 

Meegan Flenniken, Land Conservation and Land Stewardship Division Manager for Larimer County Natural Resources, is the featured speaker of this first session where she will break down how Larimer County conserves land and the climate benefits associated. 

Becky Staab, a certified yoga instructor and Mindful Outdoor Guide, will lead you on a Spring guided walk in nature at Lion's Open Space. You will be asked to connect with the gifts of the more than human world by engaging in practices that awaken the senses such as meditation, mindful walking (sauntering), gentle stretching and forest bathing. Becky will invite you to rediscover the joy of nature to strengthen and reclaim the best parts of yourself as a member of the natural world as Spring begins to greet us.
Program Update:  Weather forecasts look poor, but we may have a chance for occasional views of the first half of the eclipse. Northern Colorado Astronomical Society will have a few volunteers available for at least 1 hour (10:30 - 11:30 pm) with the hopes of staying longer if the conditions warrant. (Hopefully to totality starting at 12:26 am). Driving a significant distance to attend this program is not recommended.
