Volunteer Work

December 18, 2023

Getting outdoors for your adventure is better when the areas you’re recreating in are clean and maintained. Find out how you can help.

You can always do your part on your own to take care of Mammoth Lakes, but sometimes keeping this place beautiful requires a group effort. Consider setting aside some time to give back to the lands you love and recreate on by joining one of these organizations for a stewardship event.

Care for Mammoth Lakes

MLTS Trail Days

Sponsored by Mammoth Lakes Trails and Public Access Foundation (MLTPA), Mammoth Lakes Recreation (MLR) and the Town of Mammoth Lakes (TOML), Trail Days happen throughout the summer and are a way for anyone who cares about Mammoth Lakes to join in on restoration, clean-up and improvement projects.

Mammoth Lakes Town Clean Up

The TOML hosts an annual clean up day in spring or early summer to clean up debris and trash from town paths, streets and parks after the snow has melted.

POOch Patrol

MLR partners with Sierra Dog Ventures, a local dog adventure camp, for POOch Patrol events to clean up and properly dispose of pet waste in Mammoth Lakes.

Adopt a Trail

Businesses and groups can work with MLR to adopt a trail in Mammoth Lakes by pledging volunteer hours to maintain the adopted trail.

Care for Mammoth Lakes + More of the Eastern Sierra

Friends of the Inyo Stewardship Days

Throughout the year, Friends of the Inyo hosts public stewardship days from Lone Pine to Bridgeport, including events in Mammoth Lakes. The organization also partners with groups and schools to host private stewardship events.

Immersive Backcountry Volunteer Projects

If you're interested in making a bigger impact than you might be able to at a single-day event, consider joining one of Friends of the Inyo's week-long backcountry projects, where you join a stewardship crew to tackle a larger project.

Care for Areas Just Outside of Mammoth Lakes

Alabama Hills Stewardship Group Volunteer Days

Help clean up and restore damaged sites in the Alabama Hills National Scenic Area in partnership with The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Alabama Hills Stewardship Group.

Mono Lake Committee Volunteer Projects

Held as needed for special projects, the Mono Lake Committee volunteer working days typically entail invasive species weed pulling, highway clean up and the Great Sierra River clean up.

Your first step toward more sustainable recreation can be as simple as reading and signing the Mammoth Lakes Promise to commit to keeping Mammoth Lakes beautiful.
