Planting Season in the Parks: We Need Your Help!

Winter season, November - March
Contact: (415) 561-3044 or volunteer@parksconservancy.org

Help restore native habitat throughout the Parks. We've propagated nearly 160,000 native plants in our Nurseries and now it's time to get the plants in the ground before the rainy season ends. We need your help! We have ongoing restoration projects throughout San Mateo, San Francisco, and Marin counties where there are lots of planting projects underway and many plants yet to be planted.  Please join us for a fun and productive day in the parks. Individuals and groups are welcome. Click here to view a list of program options.
