Henry Cowell Redwoods

Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park is located in the beautiful Santa Cruz Mountains. It's located only a few short miles from the city of Santa Cruz and features 15 miles of hiking and riding trails through a variety of ecosystems including redwood forest, riparian zones, meadows, and a rare ecosystem known as the Santa Cruz Sandhills.

Volunteer positions include:

• Docents - staffing the two Visitor Centers, leading guided hikes, leading K-12 groups, roving
• Wilderness Patrol - hiking identified trails and interpreting the rules/regulations (i.e. explaining to park visitors why specific regulations are in place. This is not the same as enforcing rules) when necessary and submitting reports to park staff
• General Volunteers - performing administrative duties, maintaining the Native Plant Garden, picking up trash, pulling non-native and invasive plants

The most important duty for all volunteers is to support/assist the public when necessary, and support the park as needed. These positions are required to meet a minimum of 5 hours/month.
