ROCHESTER - The White Mountain National Forest is looking for a few good men and women to volunteer to help and preserve one of New Hampshire's natural treasures.

An informational session to connect potential volunteers with activities they might want to explore will be held on March 25 from 6:30-7:30 p.m. at the Rochester Public Library at 65 South Main St.

Some of the volunteer positions available with the National Forest include:

  • Search and Rescue prevention activities (Trailhead Stewards)
    • Backcountry Patrol
    • Assist Wildlife Biologists
    • Create signs in our wood shop
    • Visitor Center greeters
    • Historical interpreters
    • Trail Adopters (maintenance)
    • Front Country maintenance on buildings
    • Maintain wildlife clearings, monitor vernal pools or conduct a bat census
    With 800,000 acres to care for, the Forest Service relies on volunteers far and wide to monitor and maintain our forest lands. Volunteers often share their knowledge and advice to visitors from around the world. While most positions are outdoors, there is always indoor work to be done in the off-season. We even have work that can be done from your own home.
    Please join us for this one-hour overview of these positions, the responsibilities and training. We will be available to answer your questions. By May volunteers will be back in the woods.
    Most of the work can be accomplished at your own pace and accommodate your schedule. Volunteer one time, once a week or even once a month.
    If you cannot the meeting but are interested in helping out, email wmnfvolunteers@gmail.com with your contact information.
