The National Park Service invites your college or university to help restore and protect the natural communities of Point Reyes National Seashore. Visit some of the most beautiful areas in the park and learn about local plant ecology while you work alongside park staff to carry out ecological restoration projects.
Located just an hour's drive from San Francisco, CA, the Seashore is a sanctuary for myriad plant and animal species and for the human spirit -- for discovery, inspiration, solitude, and recreation -- and exists as a reminder of the human connection to the land.
Individuals and groups of all backgrounds, ages and experience levels are encouraged. Tools, gloves and training are provided. Accommodations can also be provided depending on level of commitment.
