Park Stewardship

Are you interested in supporting the natural world while learning about nature’s relationships, getting to know your fellow classmates, and having fun in your local national park? Join us for a program of stewardship and connection to help build a resilient home for the park’s many local plants and animals. We will provide drinks and snacks!

Below are the opportunities available for Fall Semester 2026.

Skyline College
 

Description:

We will be deepening our connection with the land by hiking, taking care of native plants, and spending time together in community at nearby national park sites--Sweeney Ridge or Milagra Ridge. Be prepared to spend the event outdoors in variable weather (bring sunscreen, hat, jackets, long pants, and close-toed shoes). We may take a short hike on or off-trail and work with hand tools while kneeling or sitting on uneven ground. Tools and training are provided. There is no restroom at the Sweeney Ridge meeting location. Please contact Amy at npubat@cnexfpbafreinapl.betgro.ycnavresnocskrap@gnohca with accessibility requests.

Transportation Notes:

We will meet on Skyline College campus and either hike or provide a carpool to our project site. Please be prepared to wear a mask inside our vehicles.

Required Forms:

  • New volunteers will need to complete Volunteer Agreement Forms - your project leader will have the forms on-site for you to complete at the beginning of the event.
  • For participants under 18: each participant needs to bring their own Volunteer Agreement Forms with a parent/guardian signature.
    • If a parent/guardian will not be on-site to sign the forms, please reach out to Amy Chong at npubat@cnexfpbafreinapl.betgro.ycnavresnocskrap@gnohca to receive a copy of the agreement form to print, complete, and sign ahead of time.
