Yampa Valley Climate Crew
Empowering volunteers through climate action projects.
The Yampa Valley Climate Crew links community members to volunteer opportunities that address the climate threat facing our planet, so that they, too, can be a part of the climate action solution.
These projects include tree planting, wetland and riparian habitat restoration, data collection, and site maintenance, all of which increase carbon sequestration and resilience. People of all ages are welcome to participate and give back to the natural landscapes we all appreciate and receive so much from. You’ll have the opportunity to work alongside organizations like the US Forest Service, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Yampa Valley Sustainability Council. There are many projects here in the Yampa Valley that address our climate crisis through resiliency and carbon sequestration, and all they need are impassioned volunteers to do the job!
Please note the difficulty settings for each project to ensure that the one you sign up for is right for you.
