Mission and programs · 2024

Primary exempt purpose

Purpose is to engage in charitable, scientific, literary, and educational programs and activities, which motivate and enable people to be active stewards of California's public and protected lands and environment.

In 2024 Volunteers for Outdoor California were able to continue relatively normal operations although agency partners were still imposing some project size restrictions. Trail work: In 2024, Volunteers for Outdoor California worked in 3 parks and had 3 approved projects cancelled by agency partners at the last minute (within a month of the scheduled event) for a variety of reasons, leaving us with a much shorter season than expected. Even so, our volunteers built over 1/2 miles of new trail on a steep grade, built 24(!) steps, and repaired and restored another 1.5 miles of trail, including the construction of a stretch of retaining wall. These projects were all done on either public lands(state, regional & local parks) or publicly accessible lands, organizing and directing the efforts of over 250 volunteers in stewardship efforts.
