A group effort: Open Space volunteers help keep an eye on the outdoors — and you can join them
All prospective Trail Watch volunteers must attend a two-hour orientation to get started. From that point forward, they need to put in at least 25 hours of service annually and also complete two additional trainings or programs of their choosing.
Trail Watch volunteers help monitor over 30,000 acres of land and are “the eyes and ears” for the Open Space Division.
The Open Space Division hosts trail work events like the Foothills Cleanup Series, which will run every Saturday in April.
Trail Watch program volunteers help by reporting on observations of plants and wildlife, informing Open Space employees of maintenance needs and law enforcement issues, and assisting with various conservation projects.
