We're actively recruiting volunteers for the programs below. If you're interested in getting outside, helping care for and restore our Open Spaces, we'd love your support!

Raptor Monitoring Program

This year-round program offers flexible volunteer opportunities, including self-paced or group raptor walks with fellow volunteers, with hours varying based on your availability. Participants observe and monitor raptors and their nesting activity, then submit reports through a private group on CitSci. CitSci serves as a platform to track important data on raptor populations while also recording volunteer hours, making it a meaningful way to contribute to local wildlife conservation on a schedule that works for you!

Wildlife Monitoring Program

This program runs year-round and provides adaptable volunteer opportunities, whether you prefer independent walks or joining other volunteers, with a schedule that fits your availability. Volunteers observe and document local wildlife, submit reports through a private group on CitSci, and may also assist with wildlife cameras. CitSci helps track valuable data on wildlife activity while also logging volunteer hours, providing a meaningful and accessible way to support local conservation efforts.

Wildlife & Habitat Encouragement Team

This year-round program brings volunteers together through monthly meetings and group walks, creating a collaborative space to discuss, promote, and take action on ways to improve wildlife and habitats in Superior. Participants may also assist with wildlife cameras and take part in trash clean-ups, contributing to hands-on conservation efforts that support and protect the local environment.

Weed Warriors

This seasonal program, running from April through September, offers flexible volunteer opportunities through self-paced or group weeding projects in Superior’s open spaces. Volunteers help restore native habitats by hand-pulling invasive and noxious weeds and reseeding areas with native seed mixes, with all supplies provided by the Town of Superior. Participants also contribute by submitting reports and recording project data, supporting ongoing conservation and restoration efforts.

Pollinator Garden Volunteer Projects

This year-round, weather-dependent program focuses on maintaining and growing native plant species to support pollinators and enhance local wildlife habitat. Volunteers help care for pollinator gardens at Purple Park and Original Town, working alongside partners including the Butterfly Pavilion, Friends of Coal Creek, and fellow Town of Superior volunteers. All supplies are provided, though participants are welcome to bring their own tools as they contribute to these collaborative, hands-on conservation efforts.

If you’re interested in any of the projects listed above, please contact our Open Space Ranger, Phary Om, at (303) 499-3675 ext. 136, or pharyo@superiorcolorado.gov.

The Snow Buster program exists to assist residents who report they are physically and financially unable to remove snow, sleet and ice from the sidewalk adjacent to their property remain in compliance with Municipal Code 11-1-20.

Sec. 11-1-20. Removal of snow and ice.
It is unlawful for any owner to allow snow, sleet, ice, dirt, debris or any other obstruction to remain on the sidewalk adjoining such land within the Town longer than twenty-four (24) hours from the time of the last accretion of such snow, sleet, ice, dirt, debris or other obstruction.

Residents requesting assistance must be:

• Individuals with a disability or physical impairment
• Seniors who are physically unable to lift or move snow and ice
• Individuals unable to pay for a private contractor to provide this service

Volunteers will be assigned to a neighbor who needs assistance with snow removal. Upon pairing, contact information will be exchanged and communication will continue between the volunteer and resident moving forward. Snow must be removed within 24 hours of a snow fall consisting of more than 2 inches of snow. The only required section of property is the side walk in front of the home. Participating in the Snow Buster Program does not guarantee a volunteer will be available to shovel after snow events. Staff is not responsible for snow removal in the absence of a volunteer.

Use this application to become a volunteer or to request snow removal assistance.
