About this Opportunity

G.P.S. data collectors must have some previous G.P.S experience or knowledge of the Global Positioning System. Volunteers collect G.P.S. data on the 400-mile trail system throughout the Mount Rogers National Recreation Area. Data may also be collected for various wildlife & range management projects. Volunteers may be involved with data management and map production. Volunteer housing available. 

Housing could consist of either a full hook up campsite for volunteers with their own RV or shared housing in a 3 bedroom/1 bath facility. If housing is provided, we request a minimum of 24 hours of work per week. 

Mt Rogers NRA partners with the Appalachian Trail Conservancy.  If you are interested in volunteering for the AT, or for additional information about this opportunity, please contact  Viviana Ruiz, Partnerships, Volunteers and Service Coordinator at [email protected] or  at (276) 781-3392.
