Last Call! Final 2019 Volunteer Days
Just a few short weeks remain in our 2019 volunteer field season! Please come out and help us put a bow on some of our projects before winter sets in.
Coming up are some November workdays in Palmer Park and a season-ending tool maintenance session. Expect chillier temps, perhaps a little snow and/or mud, but just as much fun, rewarding work, and comradery as usual. Do bring some waterproof attire if you have it. We will run any last workdays that we can and hope to see you there! Please visit our calendar for the latest dates. Don't miss out, volunteer today!

Miss You Already, Jay Minton.
RMFI bids farewell to Jay Minton, Program Manager and master of the mustache, who is heading back to the midwest to be closer to family and loved ones. Jay served as Program Manager for nearly 2 years, overseeing our trail and restoration projects coordinated with each of our land management agency partners during his time with us. He brought a wealth of experience and endless enthusiasm to the job, and provided important mentorship and leadership to our seasonal project staff. We wish Jay nothing but the best in his future career endeavors.
