The Poudre Wilderness Volunteers (PWV) is a wilderness trail stewardship organization, who “Hike and Ride with Purpose”. Their members serve as volunteer wilderness rangers and host hiking and horseback riding trails in support of the Canyon Lakes Ranger District of the US Forest Service. They patrol the trails through hiking, riding, and backpacking. They assist the Forest Service in maintaining the trails, removing fallen trees, educating forest visitors and providing support to these public lands. The group patrols over 280 miles, along 69 system trails, covering 650,00 acres of Wilderness, general National Forest, and National Grassland lands.
PWV has been a valuable contributor to the Forest Service since 1996, due to the ongoing commitment and passion of the members to supporting the public trails. “Our members gain a good deal of satisfaction in being able to hike and horseback ride the trails, while interacting and assisting the public.” said Jim Zakely, Recruiting committee co-chair. “Supporting the health of the trail now helps ensure they are available for future generations, and that appeals to our members,” added Celia Walker, Recruiting committee co-chair.
PWV is currently recruiting new members and applications will be accepted through Monday, March 6, 2023. Learn More
