Stewardship Programs

Stewardship Programs 

The Conservancy’s Stewardship Programs engage community members, schools, and corporate groups in caring for the park’s native habitats. Volunteers help with invasive plant removal, native planting, seed collection, and site maintenance – hands-on activities that directly support ongoing restoration and conservation projects.  

No prior experience is required, and all materials are provided.

Stewardship Saturdays:

Stewardship Saturdays are open public volunteer events where community members join Conservancy and State Park staff for a morning of on-the-ground habitat care. Depending on site needs, activities may include weeding, planting, seed collection, or other restoration tasks at one or more locations within the park. 

To inquire about Stewardship Saturdays, please contact Jen Mendez, Senior Conservation Manager, at jennifer@crystalcove.org.

Corporate & Group Stewardship Days:

Corporate and group stewardship days are customized volunteer experiences for companies, schools, and community organizations. These events combine hands-on conservation work with an introduction to Crystal Cove’s habitats and restoration goals, offering groups a structured way to contribute to active projects while learning about local ecology and land management.

To request a private stewardship event, please contact Jen Mendez, Senior Conservation Manager, at jennifer@crystalcove.org.
