SPEND A SEASON IN THE COLORADO HIGH COUNTRY

Have some free time this summer? Looking for a place to get away from the heat and the traffic? Ever wish you had a nice FREE place to park your RV or camper? If you're interested in sharing your time, energy and enthusiasm for wildlife, the Colorado Division of Wildlife is willing to share some great summer spots. The Colorado Division of Wildlife is in need of summer and fall volunteer hosts for State Wildlife Areas and fish hatcheries. We currently have nine sites still available for this year. Duties include public contact (providing information to the public on the site along with brochures, tours) and some light maintenance or other tasks as needed. Fishing, wildlife watching, & hiking opportunities abound! In exchange for a beautiful place to camp all summer, hosts volunteer 20-30 hours a week. Commitment varies from two to four months depending on the specific site. RV is required and some sites offer water and electric hookups. Most sites are in remote areas.

For more information check out our Wildlife Host Program website . For a brochure or application, please contact: Linda Edwards; Colorado Division of Wildlife, 711 Independent Ave., Grand Junction, CO 81505; (970) 255-6145; E-mail: linda.edwards@state.co.us.
