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.

You can stay up to date on all the latest EWW info by subscribing to our EWW email contact list.
