Please consider these instructions when completing the form.

Report your hours as if you were working for the public, as you are and you are saving tax dollars. Ie; start your time when your begin preparing or loading equipment and stock to leave for the project. If you are working loading equipment for 2 hours the day before you leave count the 2 hours. Your stock, both saddle and pack in numbers and days are reported from the time they leave your barn to when they return as no one else has access to them each day they are committed to a project. Report your travel time. Report miles traveled to and from. Report any equipment used such as saws, shovels, pack equipment, trailers for hauling materials, materials donated by yourself or used from another source etc. If you are combining recreation and volunteerism I encourage you to report your volunteerism hours using travel time etc. as if all travel time etc. is dedicated to volunteerism. Examples: You prepare and travel to Flagstaff from Prescott and spend 5 hours doing volunteerism work. Then you spend the night as it is late but not impossible to drive home. The next day you recreate and then drive home. Deduct the actual hours recreating but count all other hours except 8 hours for sleep. If you are packing in and camping to facilitate multiple days of volunteerism report each less 8 hours sleep per day. Experience shows that minimally you were caring for your stock and other related time spent to accommodate spending the night with your stock. If you travel to a destination and then ride a trail with others inspecting and observing conditions report all the time. Just please, report the conditions you did find. I.e. all OK, trail needs work in a area, vandalism is occurring in a area or whatever. Since we are not being paid, our time and resources are counted as a contribution to benefit the public. Remember that no one is going to reimburse you for your investment in trucks, trailers, barns, stock, feed, veterinary bills, maintenance, property, equipment, training and experience you have made without which you would not be able to volunteer on behalf of the public and without similar resources a public employee could not do his or her work.
