Save the date: December 8, 2017 Volunteer Rendezvous

16 OCTOBER 2017 | MEDFORD, ORE. — From high in the Sky Lakes, to the lower Rogue River, our volunteers put their spare time into keeping our region’s backcountry trails alive. They hike into work sites for days at a time, sustain heat, cold, long days, and hard working conditions in their commitment to taking good care of the most remote lands in Jefferson State. Join us on December 8, 2017 from 7pm – 9pm to honor their commitment. Medford REI (85 Rossanley Drive) is hosting the event.

Hear some stories from 2017, meet the volunteers, and learn more about 2018 trips. Afterwards, head to RAM Brewery next door and pick up a cold one for a volunteer.
