Friends of the Dillon Ranger District (FDRD) is a nonprofit organization that promotes stewardship of the White River National Forest in Summit County through partnerships, volunteer service, education and support. USDA Forest Service lands in Summit County provide a wealth of year-round recreational opportunities, and with over 4.5 million visitors a year, citizen stewardship of these public lands is critical for their long-term sustainability. FDRD believes in engaging volunteers from all user groups ranging from wilderness advocates to motorized enthusiasts in order to encourage stewardship among those who value our public lands and the opportunities they provide. Founded in 2005, FDRD leverages thousands of volunteer hours a year on projects ranging from trail maintenance to ecological restoration, and was named the 2010 Volunteer Program of the Year by the Washington Office of the USDA Forest Service. We create rewarding service experiences for people ranging from 6 years old to 60+ years young, and place a high value on making tangible, lasting improvements to an area roughly equivalent in size to Teton National Park.
