Description

Come February 3rd, to welcome migrating salmon back to their home stream in Muir Woods by volunteering with us. Experience the majesty of redwoods while restoring habitat, cleaning the boardwalk, and rehabbing trails. All projects will contribute toward a recently completed stream restoration project benefiting endangered salmon habitat. Registration is required.
 

Project Details:

  • Revegetation Projects: Help heal the forest after restoration! Volunteers will assist with planting native plants in three locations to help revegetate along the trails and creek banks. Expect low to moderate levels of exertion and wear clothes that can get dirty. Register Here!
  • Deck Flossing: Help prolong the life of the Muir Woods Boardwalk! Volunteers will remove dirt, duff, and debris from between the spaces of the redwood deck boards, a process known as "deck flossing"! This is a fun family-friendly volunteer project, volunteers of all ages are welcome. Register Here!
  • Trail Rehab: Help our trails live their best life! Volunteers will work to decompact soil, add duff, and plant small plants along the beautiful Muir Woods trails. Expect moderate levels of exertion and wear clothes that can get dirty. Register Here!

All projects will range from 0.5 - 2 miles of walking, sometimes off-trail, and involve using small hand tools. Training and tools will be provided.
