Project Specifics:

Soak-up Northern California Beach Life! Come join the Trinidad Coastal Land Trust along a remarkable stretch of California’s north coast, known for its rugged, rural beauty and unique natural features! This project is open to anyone who feels that an all- women’s trip that centers and celebrates the experience of women is the right space for them.

The coastal cliffs, pristine beaches, and offshore rocks provide a refuge for over 100,000 breeding seabirds, one of the densest populations along the coast. Seals are often seen basking on rocks, and gray whales can occasionally be spotted as they migrate. Inland forests are home to Roosevelt elk and other wildlife, creating a rich mosaic of habitats and abundant opportunities for wildlife observation.

On this project, volunteers will work on trail improvement projects for several land trust properties that experience severe coastal erosion. These trails offer coastal access to the general public and are very high traffic areas especially in the summer. At Houda Point, concrete steps to the beach have broken and need repair. At Baker Beach and Houda Point there are also cable steps on a steep slope leading to the beach that are unstable and in need of repair. In addition to these large scale trail repairs, there will be general improvements such as removing invasive species, graveling, etc. at various sites.

Area and Attractions

In addition to its incredible natural scenery, this project is located near the towering giants of Redwood National Park, which lies just a short drive away to the north. The coast itself is untouched and stunning, with pristine watersheds that feed into the ocean, preserving the ecological health of both land and sea. The Trinidad Coastal Land Trust takes great pride in ensuring that this spectacular coastline remains accessible for all, allowing visitors to enjoy and learn from the area’s natural beauty while supporting sustainable recreation.

Accommodations Description

Volunteers will camp at Sue-Meg State Park, with potable water available. Volunteers need to bring their own tent and personal camping gear; sheets, bedding or sleeping bag; towels; and personal cup, bowl, mug, and eating utensils. Bathrooms and pay showers are available in the campsite.

Trip Cost: $425 per person
