Event Description
Join Us in Caring for Our Shared America at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area!
The Bureau of Land Management invites individuals, partner agencies, and organized groups to take part in meaningful volunteer projects that care for, protect, and conserve Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area (NCA). In the spirit of Caring for Our Shared America, your efforts help uphold a longstanding national tradition—sustaining the landscapes that bind us together and ensuring our public lands remain places where every community feels connected, welcomed, and part of a shared American story.
Exciting Volunteer Opportunities Await!
This year, we are offering a variety of hands-on stewardship projects across Red Rock Canyon NCA:
- Red Spring & Calico Basin Litter Cleanup
Help protect natural resources by removing litter from the Red Spring Boardwalk, Calico Basin Trail, parking areas, picnic sites, and surrounding areas. Volunteers will receive a safety briefing and tools, then work in small groups led by BLM Rangers and Southern Nevada Conservancy staff.
- Calico Basin Photo‑Blitz & Bio‑Blitz
Join our interactive Photo‑blitz, capturing images of plants, wildlife, geology, visitor use, and stewardship activities throughout Calico Basin. Your photos will support a public photo book, the Red Rock Canyon digital library, and iNaturalist—making this event function as a Bio‑blitz as well.
- Invasive Decollate Snail Removal at Willow Spring
Help restore habitat health by removing invasive decollate snails. Training is provided on-site, and this project directly benefits native species and ecological balance.
- Trail Maintenance Project (Location TBA)
Take part in essential trail maintenance, including rock work, raking, digging, lining, and other tool‑based tasks. This project may involve up to two miles of walking and moderate physical activity.
Together, these volunteer opportunities reflect a shared commitment to conservation and community—truly Celebrating the Triumph of the American Spirit.
