We know that behind our successes lay the efforts of our volunteers and this volunteer participation is absolutely crucial to the strength of our organization. Volunteers help to form the foundation of community representation in our work. This connection plays an integral role when striving to provide a high quality experience for all park visitors.
Our Volunteer Program also works closely with the Environmental Center of San Luis Obispo (ECOSLO) to provide volunteer workdays and special events at our parks and golf courses. Please contact ECOSLO at 805.710-8021 for information on upcoming workdays.
