Local conservation happens because volunteers step up to take on leadership roles. This year we have a number of positions where you could help make a difference locally, and hope that you’ll be interested in taking on one of the following volunteer leader roles.
Please email us at stvraintu@gmail.com with questions and to volunteer!
Adopt-A-Highway Event Lead:
Program Description: The chapter's Highway 7 Adopt-A-Highway program is a partnership with the Colorado Department of Transportation. Each year our chapter organizes 2 clean-up events where we pick up trash along our assigned section, and in return we are recognized as the owners of that stretch of the highway.
Position Description: The event lead is a key role in the Conservation Committee. This position coordinates one of the chapter's premier and long-standing events. It's a great opportunity to contribute directly to Trout Unlimited's overall mission as a conservation organization and only requires a few hours, twice-per-year. No fishing skills required, just a passion to make a difference in your local community!

Coordinate w/ CDOT via email to schedule clean-ups
