Join our garden volunteer crews each week to re-establish the extraordinary historic gardens of Alcatraz.
Activities will include clearing invasive weeds and brush and salvaging remnants plants. Through the project, volunteers will be introduced to the stories of the gardens and have the opportunity to visit some areas not accessible to the public. As an added bonus, garden volunteers arrive on Alcatraz before other visitors, so you can experience the island during the most tranquil time of day.
Registration Required. This is not a drop-in program. An application is required, as well as a commitment to volunteering on a weekly or bi-weekly basis for 2-3 months.
CONTACT INFORMATION: (415) 561-3062 or cashford@gardenconservancy.org.

"Joe the Gardener and I look forward to greeting the Alvord Lake Volunteers in the New Year. We have a nice variety of gardening projects in the works for Saturday the 27th. Park staff is amazed at the excellent survival rate of the plants you all worked so hard to plant. Joe has seen people with sleeping bags heading for the lake's edge and actually backing out when they saw that it was planted!"

- Description:
- Modeled after a 25-year old program in Bogotá, Colombia, the car-free
community space concept has spread to four continents and has proven wildly
popular from Tokyo (Japan), Mexico City (Mexico) to Kiev (Ukraine) and more
recently in our northwesterly neighbor Portland, Oregon. The goal is to
bring physical activity space to our neighborhoods on Sunday mornings,
creating a route for thousands of local kids and adults to walk, jog, and
bike, as well as participate in group exercise. Sunday Streets will offer
safe, free, and fun activities and will attract people from throughout the
entire San Francisco Bay Area.
