Help restore and maintain priority parklands within the Golden Gate National Parks. Whether it be protecting an endangered species, restoring a historic feature, or improving a trail, community support is the key to ensuring the long term protection of these unique park sites. Volunteer events include a combination of hands-on service and short natural or cultural history lessons. Come out and lend a hand!
