Idaho Fish and Game's Southwest Region Volunteer Program has been utilizing volunteers in important habitat restoration projects for over 25 years. We use an adaptive approach to landscape management that includes responding to wildfires and working across land managed by federal, state and private entities. The program has become quite successful because it makes the volunteer the most important piece of the project; without volunteers the projects could not happen.
