VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Habitat Restoration & Trail Maintenance
Volunteer workdays regularly take place at Arroyo Hondo Preserve on the first Saturday of every month from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., weather permitting, and are occasionally hosted at other Land Trust properties.
We’re excited to announce that the Land Trust has “adopted” a location at the Jack and Laura Dangermond Preserve for an ongoing partner project removing invasive ice plant. There are three Dangermond volunteer dates in 2025 – 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Friday, May 9th; Saturday, July 19th; and Saturday, September 13th. Join the list and get your hands dirty!
No prior experience necessary, training provided as part of the event.
