Volunteer
You don’t have to own land to protect it.
Give an afternoon, a skill, or an ongoing commitment. However you want to help protect California, there’s a way in.
Golden State Land Conservancy protects working farms, forests, and watersheds across California, and that work runs on people. Here are some ways to pitch in. Tell us what you’re drawn to and we’ll be in touch when there’s a good match. Have another idea, or want to organize a group day for your company or club? Let us know!
