PWV recruits, trains, equips, and fields citizen volunteers to serve as wilderness rangers and hosts for the purpose of educating the public, and provides other appropriate support to these wild areas.
PWV has grown substantially and diversified since its founding and is considered to be one of the largest, most effective organizations of its kind in the nation. As population growth along the Front Range results in more backcountry use by the public, PWV needs to keep pace by recruiting and training new volunteers each year to ensure adequate coverage of the District’s many popular trails throughout the summer.
