Recreation in Summit County is busier than ever before and FDRD’s mission is increasingly important to both our community and visitors. We accomplished a lot of work in the 2023 field season which would not have been possible without our volunteers and our USFS partners. The community involvement in forest stewardship work is so impressive. We had volunteers that have been volunteering with us for 10+ years and new volunteers learning the trade of trail work. Volunteers are the heart and soul of our organization, and we are so grateful for every single one of them! A big thank you to everyone who gave back to the National Forest here in Summit County, whether it was for a trail maintenance or forest health project, fundraising event, or leading an educational hike. We would also like to thank our community partners for bringing out volunteers as well.

Here are our accomplishment highlights from this summer.
