Preserve what you love!  Those who have climbed Fourteeners speak to the incredible beauty and rewarding challenges that the experience of mountain climbing has meant to them.  Why not give back to the mountains that have given so much to you?

Our projects are challenging, fun, and provide something for everyone: rockwork, trail construction or maintenance, and revegetation/restoration.

How to find out more and register.  Please review the projects below that are of interest to you.  Click on each project and you will be re-directed to our parter organizations' websites for details and registration information.  CFI is excited to partner with the following Colorado-based stewardship organizations for our 2010 projects: Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado (VOC), Wildlands Restoration Volunteers (WRV), Continental Divide Trail Alliance (CDTA), and Cottonwood Institute.
