The WPV teams were established to assist the USDA Forest Service in its mission, specifically serving the San Bernardino National Forest. Some of our teams do that through public education and participation in community events. Others perform critical functions during major incidents. We come together because we care about the Forest and about our communities. The wildfires we hope to educate people about threaten our homes (see photo), our recreation areas, our natural resources!
Wildfires are part of nature in the San Bernardino National Forest. But learning how to prevent catastrophic wildfires and being able to assist the Forest Service and other agencies during an incident, is a very rewarding opportunity. For those of you looking for new ways to explore and enjoy the Forest, while contributing to its overall stewardship - this website will introduce you to the
Wildfire Prevention Volunteer Program!
We are always looking for new volunteers. Team members come from all across Southern California. See the Team page for information on our different team activities. You can join any or all teams! No age limits (some restrictions apply), no minimum time commitment per month, training provided by Forest Service staff. Contact us via email or phone to learn about the wonderful benefits of being a Forest Service volunteer!
