About Volunteering

Hello Prospective Volunteer,
Thank you for your interest in the Laguna Coast Wilderness Park Nursery. We provide seeds and plants for restoration projects within the park. We have a core volunteer group, yet we are continually looking for more volunteers. Come join us on one of our work days to discover how enjoyable it is to volunteer in the Nursery.
Nursery activities include seed collection, nursery management, plant propagation and restoration planting. If you have no experience, we're more than willing to work with you, if you can volunteer regularly. Nursery work days almost always include working with people who have years of helpful experience. You should be in reasonably good health, as much of the work is physical.
You should consider a commitment of at least 1 Nursery work day per month during the plant year: Oct-Feb. Some volunteers prefer to focus on one Nursery activity, like seed collecting- hiking with a bag; others do all of them. As you contribute to restoring the parks habitat, you’ll learn more about California native plants.
We are a Laguna Canyon Foundation sponsored project. Laguna Canyon Foundation is the primary volunteer organization at LCWP that coordinates and promotes the Nursery, Restoration work, Docent hikes and Wilderness Access Volunteers greeters. See their website at
http://www.lagunacanyon.org/. Volunteers are encouraged to support Laguna Canyon Foundation through membership. As an active Nursery volunteer you receive a park t-shirt, plant guide, Franko map, parking pass and access to park when closed to public, when approved.
I look forward to seeing you at the Nursery. You become an active member after coming to more than 3 work days, completing the LCF orientation and getting the County required ID.
Sincerely, Robert

Robert Lawson
