Deschutes NF sets volunteer recruitment event
The Deschutes National Forest, in partnership with Discover Your Forest, is hosting a Volunteer Recruitment Event in early April to find volunteers interested in providing support for programs on Newberry National Volcanic Monument and Mt Bachelor.
The Volunteer Recruitment event will be held on Tuesday, April 8th, from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. 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 welcomed to attend the event.
Volunteer Rangers will 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 tours.
Volunteers are provided uniforms and training. Interpretive Rangers are asked to commit to at least 1 day per week from late May to Sept 30th, 2014.
