Volunteer Spotlight

Denver Group members Linda Lawson, Beth Dwyer (pictured) and Sarah Thompson and Shining Mountains Group members Marilyn Breithart and Jim Wilkerson helped table at two Winter Trails Day events, speaking with scores of potential CMC members. The new snowshoers attending the events expressed interest in the human-powered winter recreation advocacy advanced by CMC's new Backcountry Snowsports Initiative. Many also signed an open letter of support for CMC's Hidden Gems Wilderness Campaign to protect lands in central Colorado. If you would like to volunteer with CMC's Conservation Department at similar events, emailbsi@cmc.org.
