Volunteer & Get Involved

Be part of the story!

In Big Bear, our greatest gift is the natural environment. As locals and visitors, we share a responsibility to be stewards for these beautiful surroundings. There's always a way to leave a positive impact on the environment, whether you're clearing away litter, sticking to marked trails, observing wildlife from afar or joining in volunteer opportunities in the valley.

Action is the only remedy to indifference. Elie Wiesel
