Volunteers are always welcome to serve as camp hosts, interpretive docents or provide many other valued tasks.

Camp hosts serve at our two campgrounds at Lake Solano County Park (near Winters) and Sandy Beach County Park (Rio Vista).  Volunteers can lead guided tours and nature walks and receive training as interpretive docents at Lake Solano County Park, the Lake Solano Nature Center and Lynch Canyon Open Space Park (near Vallejo).  The County Parks also regularly gather volunteers to clean up our park shorelines during the Annual California Coastal Cleanup Day in late summer each year.

You can also ask any Park Ranger how you can help. To volunteer at Lake Solano Park call 530-795-2990, at Sandy Beach Park 707-374-2097, or at Lynch Canyon Open Space Park call the Volunteer/Outreach Coordinator at 707-432-0150 X200 (Solano Land Trust). 

Volunteer Training

Training is periodically offered for volunteer docents who will lead tours and classes at Lake Solano Park and Lynch Canyon. Training includes information on first aid, safety and emergency procedures on the trail, and info on a wide variety of volunteer opportunities to meet all interests and skills. Docent training typically occurs in the spring.  New docents can also tag along with more experienced volunteers to learn how to lead hikes.

For further information please contact the Volunteer/Outreach Coordinator at 707-432-0150, extension 200.
