VOLUNTEER

The Open Space Division depends on the involvement of its owners, the citizens of Albuquerque, to help with education and conservation. Volunteers contribute thousands of hours each year toward stewardship of Open Space lands. Become a vital part of Open Space - become a volunteer!

Join the City of Albuquerque Open Space Division volunteer team and support a community-based commitment to promote conservation and appreciation for the integrity of our local public lands. All volunteers are trained to report observations while using the trail and educate visitors on sustainable land use.

Volunteers may also choose to adopt a trail or become an interpreter at the Open Space Visitor Center. Please call 897-8865 for more information about our Visitor Center.

*Open Space Volunteer Training: July 5th, 10:00a.m. - 3:00p.m. at the Open Space Visitor Center. Call 897-8831 to register.
