From removing invasive species to planting new life, our volunteers are making a real impact across California’s state parks. 
In the last year, our Park Stewardship Program mobilized 3,144 volunteers to support 29 parks across the state spanning 12 of the 21 park districts.
Together, they completed 142 workdays and contributed 10,915 service hours to protect and restore our parks.
Here’s what that looks like:
787,401 sq. ft. of invasive species removed (nearly 14 football fields!)
13,100 sq. ft. of fire buffer zone created
9,695 native plants and trees planted
532 ft. of fence repaired
160 bags of trash and recycling collected
2.94 miles of trail restoredThis incredible work is made possible through our volunteers, and the generous support of partners like Niagara Cares who share our vision for thriving, accessible parks for all Californians.
