Join us for another day of trail repairs. We’ll be continuing our work on Shoreline Trail, rebuilding it to state standards, compacting the tread, replacing split rail fencing and wattling the edge. The work will be moderately strenuous, and we’ll be working around large equipment.
Lunch is provided. Limited free camping is available to registered volunteers. Ages 16 and up are welcome. Volunteers under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
To register, please go to the California State Parks Foundation website. Once you are registered, they will send additional information about where to meet, what to bring (in addition to your smiles and volunteer spirit) and what to wear. Your registration helps us prepare for equipment, supplies and, of course, food. Be sure to include your email address…just in case rain causes us to cancel and we need to contact you.
Join us and meet new people who, like you, care about our parks. To get a flavor of our work day events see the FOCC Maintenance photo gallery.
