We are working today to protect tomorrow.
In 1984 a group of enthusiastic people formed Friends of Red Rock Canyon. The original mission was to provide volunteers for Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area.
Friends of Red Rock Canyon, Las Vegas, Nevada, has since expanded our mission to provide not only critically needed volunteer assistance, but substantial financial support for education and environmental programs. During the past fiscal year Friends members donated over 21,000 volunteer hours and over $100,000 in direct support.
Have you ever wondered how you could help preserve, protect or enhance one of your favorite recreational places? Volunteer!
Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area has close to 200,000 acres of climbing routes, hiking, cycling and equestrian trails, a beautiful Visitor Center and some amazing Rock Stars – the resident desert tortoise.
There are over 3,000,000 visitors using the area each year so Red Rock can use all the help it can get!
Below are some opportunities Red Rock has for you to try:
• Information Desk
There are about 500,000 people coming into the Visitor Center annually. The information desk is typically staffed by two people during each morning and afternoon shift. During peak visitation periods, the need for friendly faces dispensing information increases.
• Tortoise Habitat
The best job at the Rock involves helping with the care and feeding of the 9 resident desert tortoises. The 7 females live in one large habitat and the 2 males each have their own. Habitat volunteers also interact with Red Rock guests and will likely develop a strong bond with at least one of the Rock Stars.
• Want something a little more active?
How about canyon clean-up, maintaining and improving the trees and native plants, helping to increase the hummingbird population, repairing trails, documenting and preserving our Native American cultural sites, helping on community volunteer days and removing graffiti.
You can apply for these volunteer opportunities by going to www.volunteer.gov and searching for Red Rock Canyon.
BLM Staff will be in touch with you once an application has been submitted.
A few of the benefits of volunteering:
Friends of Red Rock Canyon also provide appreciation awards, such as an annual banquet, nametags and Friends wearables based upon their volunteer hours.
The Bureau of Land Management provides free annual passes to volunteers based on their hours of service.

These are just some of the areas you would report or log your time donated to benefit Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area.
Each fiscal year, Friends volunteers add the equivalent of 10 to 11 full time employees working for the Rock.
