About Us
I've come to Garden of the Gods on an almost weekly basis for the past 3 years and it was fulfilling to finally be able to give back to it, even if just a little. The RMFI team is passionate about the work they do and it definitely gets passed down to the volunteers and keeps them motivated throughout the day as well. The entire team was kind, inclusive, knowledgable, and approachable. Can't wait to volunteer again.

RMFI will deploy a 4-person crew during the 2021 summer field season to complete critical trail improvements along the South Colony and South Colony Spur Trails. Work will include clearing hazard trees and blowdown, replacing and repairing timber bridges, trimming vegetation to better delineate the trail corridor, and improving off-trail drainage. Work is expected to last 40 days and crews will be camped near the intersection of the South Colony and South Colony Spur Trails.
