Join Volunteer Workdays in 2012

Foothill Regional Park

Beginning in 2009, a record number of volunteers turned out to honor Dr. Martin Luther King by helping their neighbors and communities. This year Regional Parks joins thousands of other organizations nationwide in hosting a volunteer workday. On Monday, January 16th volunteers are invited to Foothill Regional Park where we will be removing invasive plants that threaten its Oak Woodlands and repairing park trails. Volunteers should meet staff in the main parking lot at 1351 Arata Lane in Windsor.  Parking fees waived for volunteers. Tools, gloves, drinks and snacks will provided. For more information contact John Ryan, Volunteer Coordinator, at 707-565-3356 or John.Ryan@sonoma-county.org. Groups of 10 or more should call to pre-register.

Necessary tools, gloves and training, water and snacks are provided, and staff is always on site to supervise the project and to respond to any emergency situations. Volunteers should wear sturdy shoes, long pants and a long sleeve shirt, hat and sunscreen. Volunteers are also encouraged to bring a water bottle. Volunteers under the age of 14 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Volunteers between the ages of 14 – 17 must come with a signed parental permission slip (PDF: 55kB).
