Who We Are

PWV is comprised of about 270 individuals who live primarily in northern Colorado and who range in age from 18 to 80 years old. Our volunteers represent nearly every imaginable background and all walks of life. The group consists of retirees as well as people still actively working in such fields as medicine, education, public and private administration and business.

Volunteers commit to doing six patrols from May through September on trails in the Canyon Lakes Ranger District. The 53 trails may be patrolled on foot or horseback as a day hike, or as an overnight backpacking or horsepacking trip. Approximately one-fifth of our members patrol with stock. Additionally, many of our members participate in programs and activities intended to assist the USFS, implement sound land stewardship, facilitate trail access, promote hiker and rider safety, and educate the public

Poudre Wilderness Volunteers is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. PWV has no paid staff and is managed by an elected board of directors and officers.
