Volunteers
The Land Trust has an incredible network of volunteers who help keep our preserves and programs thriving and open to the public. Whether you want to co-lead a Trek, work on Arroyo Hondo’s volunteer trail crew, or participate in an occasional native restoration planting day, there are lots of fun ways to jump in and be part of the Land Trust’s mission!
