Volunteer Opportunities
If you have the time, we need your help. Our volunteer needs vary from time to time. We frequently need folks to staff an information booth at public events such as the New West Fest or Rocky Mountain Sustainable Living Fair. Some people help with data entry or fundraising events. When the Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement is released, we will need the scientific and research expertise of many volunteers to analyze and prepare comments. We also encourage folks to submit letters to the editor to newspapers in support of the river and in opposition to NISP.
Here’s a list of possible volunteer tasks:- Staff a table at an event
- Review the Environmental Impact Statement
- Fundraiser/event planning and coordination
- Help with a mailing
- Sell t-shirts and posters via local merchants
- Speak to groups about saving the Poudre
- Write a letter to the editor
- Carry a petition
- Data entry
- Phone calling
Please send us email and let us know what you'd be interested in doing. Please include your name, postal address, phone numbers, email address (if different from or in addition to your current email address), and interests or skills.
Send Us Your River Photos
As you fish or float the river, or bike or walk the trails, we need photos of the river below the canyon mouth whenever it runs dry, is reduced to a trickle, or is otherwise in bad shape. Send photos to us along with the date and time, and objectively describe any problems with the river. Document all signs of pollution or habitat stress (e.g. oil slicks, dead fish, waterfowl packed into tiny pools in the stream channel, etc.) This winter and spring are important as they are seasons when river-dependent wildlife suffer.
Send your photos and documentation to photos@savethepoudre.org. And spread the word to your friends who also wish to keep enjoying the scenic Cache la Poudre River!
