Big Sur

Want to meet people and educate them about fire safety and Leave No Trace practices? Join VWA’s Trailhead Ambassador Program.

LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS FOR THE

PINE RIDGE TRAILHEAD AT BIG SUR STATION

Volunteers with the Ventana Wilderness Alliance (VWA) greet backpackers at the Pine Ridge Trailhead adjacent to the Big Sur Station parking lot.  The Trailhead Ambassador Program (TAP) is in place to make visitors feel welcome to the wilderness and answer questions but also to educate them on fire safety and Leave No Trace Practices without lecturing.  This program is a partnership with the VWA and USFS.

VWA is currently looking for volunteers that would like to participate in the program.  Volunteers would pick up supplies at Big Sur Station and set up at the trailhead.  Best days would be Saturday mornings, but other days could work.  Hours can vary, but preferably between 8 and 9AM to start and end the shift between 1 and 2 PM.  You would work alongside of a volunteer Wilderness Ranger until comfortable working alone or together with another volunteer.

If interested, please contact Barbara Ray at Barbaraannray46@gmail.com or VWA at vwa@ventanawild.org

  • Everyone knows Ventana Wilderness alliance is a scam. Don’t volunteer for these folks and give them any sort of legitimacy. #VwaLiedArvinDied
