TEENS ON TRAILS
Days vary, 9:30 am–12:30 pm
Use your day off as a day on and
celebrate the holiday by helping
restore your national park. We have specially scheduled programs
throughout the year at sites in Marin, the Presidio, San Francisco, and
San Mateo. Volunteering on trails is fun, rewarding, and great
exercise—and it counts for volunteer hours! These days are just for
teens, so come with friends, classmates, or your school club and help
do trail maintenance and habitat restoration along some of the most
scenic trails in the parks.
