Indigenous land stewardship training with Mending Mountains Collective
Half-day workshop on Indigenous land stewardship practices and inclusive outdoor culture, led by Mending Mountains Collective. Classroom plus field practice. Free.
Why we picked this
A half-day workshop on Indigenous land stewardship that gives outdoor conservation volunteers useful context for the work — not just how to maintain a trail, but what relationship to land the work is grounded in.
Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado and the Mending Mountains Collective are offering this half-day workshop on Indigenous land stewardship practices — their values, methods, and what it looks like to bring those approaches into contemporary conservation work. The program combines classroom instruction with field practice and is designed for people at any stage of their outdoor stewardship involvement.
Participants should bring their own lunch; a current 2026 VOC liability waiver is required. The specific address is provided after registration. Registration deadline is April 29, 2026.
Mending Mountains Collective works at the intersection of Indigenous land knowledge and outdoor access — this session is part of VOC’s broader effort to build a more inclusive volunteer stewardship culture in Colorado. For anyone who spends time doing trail and habitat work, this is useful grounding.
