Where: Marin Headlands Nursery

Come grow with us! Perched above Rodeo Lagoon, the Marin Headlands Nursery immerses volunteers in the beauty of the park as we ensure that each plant gets the care it needs to thrive.

Depending on the week and season, volunteers may be transplanting seedlings, pruning plants, processing seeds for the next growing season, maintaining the facility, or doing other fun outdoor activities. Join us to help grow our national park!

The Marin Headlands Nursery has an evolving and welcoming group of "Regulars" who come on Wednesday afternoons. If you're looking to join this community, we're asking for a loose commitment of about six Wednesday afternoons ideally within one year of joining. This group is dedicated to nuturing community and caring for one another, which may include masking and socially distancing more than you may see elsewhere. To join us, please email Robin Binaoro at  Rbinaoro@parksconservancy.org   to be invited to our next new Wednesday volunteer date.

Check the Marin Headlands Nursery volunteer homepage for program updates and cancellations.
