Those who care about protecting and sharing the beauty of the San Bernardino National Forest are invited to take the first step by attending a volunteer orientation at the Big Bear Discovery Center. This introductory session welcomes community members who want to give back by helping visitors learn about local wildlife, trails, and safe outdoor recreation. Volunteers play an important role in connecting people to public lands while supporting conservation and stewardship efforts. Orientation is the perfect opportunity to learn how to get involved, meet like minded nature enthusiasts, and become part of a team dedicated to protecting and celebrating the forest.
