Need some volunteer hours? Are you flying solo or with a group? Want to spend that time working with your hands on the side of the beach? Well, of course you do! And, we have a perfect opportunity to do that here at Golden Gate National Park!

We are looking for individuals or groups that are available on Thursdays to work along NPS rangers to do various things such as work in a native flower bed at Crissy Field or fight the good fight against the ever-encroaching sands at Baker Beach and Ocean Beach.
