TEENS ON TRAILS

Trails volunteers working in the Marin Headlands

Days vary, 9:30 am12:30 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.
