Friends of the Dillon Ranger District(FDRD)

With more than 60 projects each year, FDRD volunteers contribute thousands of hours maintaining and improving trails, planting trees, pulling invasive weeds, educating forest visitors and much more. We are one of the most active locally-based outdoor stewardship organizations in the country, and have been recognized as the U.S. Forest Service's Volunteer Program of the Year in 2010. Friends of the Dillon Ranger District (FDRD) is a non-profit organization that partners with the Dillon Ranger District by leveraging the power of volunteers to assure that the National Forest enjoyed by millions of people each year are not negatively impacted by their popularity. By volunteering with FDRD, or supporting us with a financial contribution, you are benefiting the National Forest that makes Summit County a world-class destination.
