Fundraising/Advocacy

Fundraising:

Colorado Springs taxes are very low and parks are sparsely funded.
We do not advocate increased taxes; rather, we raise funds to continue our efforts.
Here is a partial list of efforts supported through fund raising:

-Environmental Education for children and adults
-Maintenance of trails in the Cañon
-Funding annual environmental events in the Cañon
-Preservation and enhancement of the Cañon

No special skills are required, just a desire to assist in continuing to make the Cañon an environmental gem.
Contact Starsmore Discovery Center (385-6086).  

Advocacy:

This entails working with City officials, businesses and service groups to promote
the Cañon.

Volunteer

The Friends of Cheyenne Cañon partner with The City of Colorado Springs Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Services Department in order to protect, preserve and enhance North Cheyenne Cañon City Park.  A City Volunteer Application is required for adult and teen volunteers who work a regular schedule for the visitor centers or as crew leaders for Trail Maintenance and Clean-up events.  The City of Colorado Springs has a secure volunteer database, which allows efficient communication with our volunteers concerning programs, events, schedules and service records. The City of Colorado Springs values volunteer service in North Cheyenne Cañon which amounted to 9,029 hours during 2010 at a value of $188,254.00.  Please join our team by filling out an application and choose North Cheyenne Cañon, Starsmore Discovery Center or Helen Hunt Falls as the site where you would like to volunteer.
