Gear
In addition to providing the gloves and tools necessary for a day of stewardship, RFOV maintains a small gear library to provide students with appropriate footwear boots, water bottles and more. We can also supply healthy snacks for a project day upon request.
Collaboration
Working closely with local land managers, RFOV matches each group with age-appropriate projects in their community
Students are given an opportunity to discover and give back to outdoor spaces in their own “backyard”
Transportation
Transportation is provided whenever possible, allowing students to access and discover public land that may be otherwise out of reach.
