NOTE: Safety for volunteers, visitors and staff is our top priority. Due to COVID-19, volunteers will be required to follow additional guidelines while volunteering to help keep everyone safe.
Be a host at Riley Ranch Nature Reserve.
Riley Ranch Nature Reserve is a very special place offering hiking and outdoor experiences. The park has some special rules - no bikes and no dogs -to enhance opportunities for wildlife viewing.
Volunteers age 18 and over will greet visitors at the trailhead adjacent to the parking lot, sharing experiences and opportunities and reminding people about park rules. Volunteers will not be expected to provide enforcement of the rules.
Two hour shifts are available on weekdays and weekends. A volunteer application is required and a criminal history background check will be processed. Volunteers will connect with park stewardship staff for an orientation prior to their first shift.
Volunteer application is available at www.bendparksandrec.org, click on the volunteer tab near the top to open the application.
