Caretaking at Kentucky Camp 
The Coronado National Forest is seeking friendly and independent volunteer caretakers to staff the Kentucky Camp Historic Mining Site, located 1-1/4 hours SE of Tucson, on the Nogales Ranger District.
Prior to July 1, 2024, Kentucky Camp care-taking assignments were managed by PIT (Passport in Time). However, PIT and their website is no longer available, and is replaced by the National Forest Heritage Partnership Program: Volunteer.gov website.
Site Host Responsibilities: Greeting the public and answering questions; light maintenance (e.g., light trail work, adobe patching, minor carpentry, grounds-keeping, cleanup and restocking of the facilities, etc.); and working with FS recreation staff and archaeologists on interpretive and preservation projects.
Facilities: Amenities include a 14’ x 22’ trailer pad which can accommodate RVs/trailers up to about 30’ in length and 10’ in height. Hookups are provided for well water (chlorinated and tested weekly by the Forest Service), standard RC/trailer electrical power (120VAC at 30 amps), septic system with a standard sewer line hook-up, and propane (Two 125-gallon tanks adjacent to the trailer pad).
