Friends of the Dillon Ranger District (FDRD) is a nonprofit organization based in Silverthorne, Colorado, that promotes stewardship of the White River National Forest in Summit County through partnerships, volunteer service, education, and support. Founded in 2005, the group mobilizes citizen involvement to sustain public lands that host more than 4.5 million visitors annually, and it has been recognized for its volunteer program by the USDA Forest Service in 2010. Its activities center on coordinating volunteers from diverse user groups to carry out trail maintenance, ecological restoration, and related stewardship projects, generating thousands of volunteer hours annually. The organization engages people from ages six to 60+ to foster stewardship and deliver tangible improvements to an area roughly the size of Teton National Park. A recent development is a collaboration with Slifer Smith & Frampton for a Meadow Creek Trailhead trail work day in August 2025.
