Get Involved

Volunteering offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature, gain hands-on conservation experience, and make a tangible difference in the health and beauty of our natural areas and trail system. 

Partnership with Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado

Greeley Natural Areas and Trails has partnered with Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado (VOC) to host the Weld County Volunteer and Partnership Coordinator. This Coordinator connects Greeley residents with outdoor volunteer opportunities. Partnering helps both organizations leverage limited resources. Working together allows us to make the most significant impact possible in local communities. Learn more about the innovative partnership office model.

Weed Warrior

The City of Greeley Natural Areas & Trails Division manages 2,000 acres of designated natural areas. Many sites have invasive weed species growing in them. Interested volunteers will receive training on identifying and managing several of these species and how to record the information for land management planning. Volunteers will be equipped with materials, tools, and supplies to go out independently to locate and treat them in designated natural areas during the growing season. This allows citizens to actively participate in natural area stewardship on their own time by helping keep these ecosystems healthy and reporting any issues they see. The Weed Warrior program will take a break in 2024 and return in 2025.
