WRV engages over 4,500 citizens on more than 200 projects each year across Colorado to jump-start nature's healing processes. Learn more at http://www.wlrv.org

Wildlands Restoration Volunteers is a non-profit organization that provides opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds to come together, learn about their natural environment, and take direct action to restore and care for the land. Volunteers are involved at every level of our organization and we have a comprehensive volunteer leader training program. Many projects are family-friendly, and WRV reaches youth through school outings, after-school programs, youth groups and Environmental Education camps.

Join us for one of our favorite annual traditions: ToolFest 2026! 🛠️

They've been there for us all season—now it’s time to return the favor! Celebrate a great year of restoration by helping us put WRV’s tools to bed for the winter.

What we'll be doing:
Repairing, cleaning, sharpening, painting, applying protective oils, and reorganizing the toolshed so everything is ready for next year's project season. Whether you're a tool expert or a brand-new volunteer, there’s a job for everyone!

When & Where:
📍 Sunday, Nov 8th – WRV Fort Collins Office
📍 Saturday, Nov 14th – WRV Longmont Office

Let’s clear away a season’s worth of grime together!

This was a lovely event last Saturday. Thank you!

Congratulations! Wildlands Restoration Volunteers has been chosen as the 2026 Hereford Prize recipient (a $10,000 award!) for WRV work on Little Owl Creek on the Pawnee National Grassland. The Award Reception was at the Hereford School on Oct 24th, preceded by a tour along the creek.

On the USFS webpage: The Little Owl Creek RNA includes shortgrass prairie and Great Plains riparian vegetation, with portions of one intermittent and two permanent prairie streams crossing an expanse of rolling short-grass plains. There is a prairie-dog town within the RNA.

Last week, our Board of Directors came together in Longmont for their annual retreat, diving into deep conversations as part of the strategic planning process that will guide WRV’s work for the future.

They spent the day reflecting on where we’ve been, where we’re headed, and how we can grow our community and impact.
