Friends of the Dillon Ranger District

Friends of the Dillon Ranger District is a Colorado 501(c)3 Nonprofit Corporation whose mission is to promote stewardship of the White River National Forest in Summit County through partnerships, volunteer service, education, and support.

Friends of the Dillon Ranger District was established in the summer of 2005 by diverse users of public lands in Summit County Colorado USA as the nonprofit partner of the Dillon Ranger District, a district of the White River National Forest within the U.S. Forest Service, an agency of the United States Department of Agriculture. Initial funding was provided by a grant from the National Forest Foundation, but has expanded to include funding from The Summit Foundation and Copper Mountain Resort - the local alpine ski area.
