Do you have friends participating in Ironman?

Do you love giving back to Tulsa?

Do you enjoy cheering for athletes at the peak of their performance?

The Tulsa Urban Wilderness Coalition is proud to partner with IRONMAN Tulsa to provide volunteers for the race!

STEP 1 (step one of two)• Please sign up using this link and designate that you are volunteering with the Tulsa Urban Wilderness Coalition (you must complete this step first).

(You must make this designation at the time of sign-up. If you have already signed up you can cancel your sign-up and then re-reserve your slot and designate the charity as the Tulsa Urban Wilderness Coalition for the exact same slot!)

STEP 2 • NEW FOR 2022 We have to keep a list of volunteers too! Please sign up as a TUWC Volunteer here.

If you do not do both your volunteer hours will not be credited to the TUWC.

By donating your time you help to raise funds for the TUWC!

These funds go to our insurance costs so we can keep doing the work you have come to expect from us!

1. Decide where you want to volunteer.
2. Be sure to designate you are with the TULSA URBAN WILDERNESS COALITION

The Tulsa Urban Wilderness Coalition will be taking part in Oklahoma’s Biggest Earth Day Celebration 2022

Make plans to spend March 27th at Turkey Mountain with the TUWC, River Parks Authority and Progressive Trail Design. 

Weather permitting we plan to work on trail building under the supervision of the pros from Progressive Trail Design!

Additionally, we will be working on the following:

• removing invasive species
• trail compacting
• litter removal
• erosion mitigation

Two shifts to better accommodate schedules!

Our morning shift will get started at 9AM and go to Noon and break for lunch.

The afternoon shift will start at 1PM and pack it in at 4PM.

ALL AGES ARE WELCOME!!!

We can sign for volunteer hours for students!!!

How should I plan?

• attire: wear sturdy shoes and clothes you can work in.

• bring a reusable water container

• wear layers you can shed as the day warms

• bring sunscreen and bug spray

Tools (optional)

*****should you bring personal tools please clearly label them so you can make it home with what you brought.

*******note – we do not expect anyone volunteer to provide everything on this list, pick one or two things

• Gloves

• Loppers/Pruners (with your name on them)

• Hand saws (non-power like a bow saw or folding saw) and small Axe/Hatchet

• Hoe’s (both traditional & rogue) / Shovels (spade & square)

Chances are, you are probably more familiar with work being done at Turkey Mountain than with those who have been actually doing the work.

Volunteers with the Tulsa Urban Wilderness Coalition have for years advocated for Turkey Mountain (it’s sometimes been mistakenly called the “Turkey Mountain Urban Wilderness Coalition”) but are now seeking a broader scope.
