One-Day Volunteer Projects (ODVP) and Climate Action ODVP  

One-Day Volunteer Projects are a way for individuals, groups, schools, and corporations to learn about Open Space and Mountain Parks (OSMP) through field-based service-learning. Volunteers work directly with OSMP staff and learn specific land management methodologies.

Climate change is a serious global challenge that has and will continue to have profound impacts on human and natural systems. OSMP is proactively managing these systems to withstand and adapt to the effects of the changing climate, relying on the best available data/science and actions through carbon sequestration along with cultivating resilient habitats. We aim to foster hope and resilience by connecting to youth and adults to make direct impacts to climate change and be part of the solution. For more information on Climate Action ODVP reach out directly to Kristin Weinberger at  weinbergerk@bouldercolorado.gov.

Nature Play Area & Pollinator Habitat Project

An OSMP Naturalist talks to a small boy holding a net

Dream it! Build it! Love it! The City of Boulder is recruiting for youth groups and families (15-20+ participants) to take part in a special summer volunteer project at the South Teller Trailhead. Volunteers will assist in weeding a nature play area and pollinator habitat. This hands-on opportunity is a great way to contribute to local conservation efforts, connect to nature, build community, and make a difference! No experience is necessary, and the tools, PPE, and materials will be provided.

After the weeding project, the group will join a naturalist on a guided hike or play in the natural area to learn more about the local wildlife, ecosystem, and the importance of pollinators.

If you’re interested in this opportunity for your summer program, reach out directly to Kris Weinberger at weinbergerk@bouldercolorado.gov.
