California State Parks Uniformed Volunteer Program
You can help us keep it beautiful and available to all by becoming a Coe Volunteer. Meet new friends and learn new skills. We have a place for you.
Henry W. Coe State Park Uniformed Volunteers help park staff including Rangers, Maintenance, and Natural Resources in so many ways. We help build and maintain the trails you walk/ride/bike on. We check on water sources so visitors can have accurate information. We lead walks on many topics, including wildflowers, birds, fungi, trees, geology, animal tracking, photography, sketching, and nature journaling. Even night hikes to listen for owls and head to viewpoints where together we watch the park change as the sun sets. One of the most impactful actives we do is staff the Visitor Center where we help visitors plan their adventures. We also help the Pine Ridge Association with their unique events for park visitors including the Tarantula Festival, Ranch Day, Raincoats & Rubber Boots, Mother's Day Breakfast, 5k/10K Fun Run, and the wonderful Backcountry Weekend.
