As one of our valued volunteers, you make up an integral part of the future health of the Black Rock National Conservation Area.
Our conservation projects and programs are a great way to explore, connect with friends (old and new), and give back to your community in a safe and fun environment. In addition to being a steward of your public lands, volunteering is the perfect excuse to see some of Nevada’s most spectacular backcountry. Our events in Reno are a great way to meet new people and to get to know Friends better, too!
