Beginning in mid May, a dedicated group of volunteers known as the Bighorn Brigade will be back on duty. This volunteer group helps staff the Sheep Lakes Information Station in Horseshoe Park, one of the premier wildlife viewing areas in Rocky Mountain National Park. Volunteers furnish information to park visitors about bighorn sheep and other park resources, protect the migration of bighorn sheep across Hwy. 34, and educate visitors on ethical wildlife viewing.

Rocky Mountain National Park is currently recruiting new volunteers for the Bighorn Brigade. These volunteers work one day per week from May 16 through Aug. 15. Shifts are either 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. or 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

New volunteers for the Bighorn Brigade are required to attend an afternoon and evening training session on Friday, May 15. Anyone interested in volunteering for the Bighorn Brigade or who would like more information, call Cynthia Langguth, Bighorn Brigade supervisor, at 586-1224, or the park’s volunteer office at 586-1330.
