About WRV

Wildlands Restoration Volunteers is a non-profit organization that provides an opportunity for people to come together, learn about their natural environment, and take direct action to restore and care for the land. We'd love to have your help!

Colorado is blessed with tremendous natural beauty. However, our open spaces, forests, streams, and high country are experiencing numerous impacts due to their close proximity to a fast growing urban population. Development, increasing recreational use and other human activities, have taken their toll on vulnerable ecosystems and wildlife habitat. At the same time, land management budgets are falling.

Support you favorite non-profit by participating in our super fun 2nd Annual Silent Auction.

Please Donate Something for the Auction

Proceeds will support our 40+ stewardship scheduled projects. In 2010, WRV will restore streams, wetlands and forests, and improve watershed health in 13 different watersheds, across Colorado.  Our work will benefit dozens of rare/endangered species.  We’ll obliterate roads to improve wildlife habitat, remove invasive plants on hundreds of acres, and gather native seeds on over a dozen sites.  And, while we’re improving watershed health, we’ll be enhancing recreation by improving trails, creating better fishing opportunities, and more. 

Think you have nothing to offer for the Auction? Think again!  Everyone has a special talent, skill or creative gift.  You can donate a service, fun event, or special item.

• Donating an auction item is a fantastic way to market your special expertise or business.
• Invite a friend to donate an auction item to promote their business.
