STRATEGIC PLAN OVERVIEW
The staff and board of Roaring Fork Outdoor Volunteers began implementing the current strategic plan in 2021.

We believe RFOV must adapt to meet the evolving stewardship needs of our four county service area. In the first year of our plan, we focused on the following:
Program Offerings · Outreach · Structure & Support
PROGRAM OFFERINGS
2021 RFOV added 14 new Healthy Landscapes (restoration) and Fire Adaptation project sites, a significant expansion from the previous year. We worked to create more family-friendly projects as well as projects accessible to various trail-users through our Trails & Ways initiative.
2022 We will maintain a diverse slate of projects, but will also add: childcare (at select projects), projects within reach of public transit, significantly expanded introductory and technical public trainings.
OUTREACH
2021 If you were a new volunteer last year, then our outreach plan succeeded! Staff are working to broaden the RFOV community by considering when, where, and what types of volunteer and educational opportunities we offer.
2022 We will continue working hard to better engage specific geographic areas, demographics, ages, and interests. That's part of the reason our theme this year is "Making our Shared Outdoors into Common Ground".
STRUCTURE & SUPPORT
2021 Our financial and staff structure is stable, in part due to growing support from our community. Membership grew more than 20% last year and we doubled our volunteer hours!
2022 RFOV will be adding more seasonal field positions (largely for backcountry work). As the need for active public lands trails, restoration, and fire mitigation work continues to grow, we aim to better demonstrate the stake that all residents and visitors have as individuals (or businesses) in the stewardship process.

We're confirming project sites this month and will open registration to RFOV members in early March.
