Helping Out Outdoors
January 9, 1997
In response to a growing need for volunteers on America's public lands, the American Hiking Society has published "Helping Out in the Outdoors 1997," a comprehensive guide to volunteer positions on public lands throughout the country.
Volunteer positions available range from fire lookouts in the Arizona Strip District to hydrologists, fishery managers, and wildlife biologists in the Florida Everglades. A wide range of ages and skill levels are needed, and though most opportunities are outdoors, there are some administrative positions available.
The publication, organized by state and region, is available from the society by sending $7 to AHS Helping Out, 1422 Fenwick Lane, Silver Spring, Md. 20910 or by calling 301-565-6704.
