Important Notes Regarding Our Program
-
Don't do this on your own!
Plant removal & going off trail require a permit (and only CNPS has one).
-
Teens are welcome, but must each be accompanied by one of their own parents;
unaccompanied adult students must have proof of age.
-
Large groups are welcome, but should call ahead to make special arrangements.
-
Volunteers need to have a
"Hold Harmless" form
on file with the park;
new volunteers should fill out a form and give it to the outing leader.
-
Sturdy gloves are recommended; see "What's In An Outing" below for more tips on what to bring/wear.
