SUMMARY:Join Waitlist: San Jose Creek Trail hike (9-mile) | August 12
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy an out-and-back hike from Palo Corona (Rancho Cañada) to San Jose Creek! \n\n\n\nEvery step of this hike was made possible through our partnership with the Monterey Peninsula Regional Park District\, California State Parks\, and Point Lobos Foundation as collaborative members of the Lobos Corona Parkland project — along with generous donors and funders. This inspiring hike will first take us from Palo Corona Regional Park (Rancho Cañada) to the high point of Inspiration Point and the quiet beauty of Animas (“spirit”) Pond. From there\, we cross into former ranchlands (Whisler Wilson). The acquisition of the centrally located Whisler Wilson Ranch by Big Sur Land Trust\, and its subsequent transfer\, played a critical role in the trail connectivity we now enjoy. From there\, we will enjoy peeks of Point Lobos as we dip down\, winding along San Jose Creek and across three beautiful redwood bridges. We will enjoy our picnic lunches before our return hike. This hike is a beautiful reminder that collaboration can bring beautiful change and that our actions are stronger when taken together. We are grateful to our partners and to our donors\, for each step forward that we take together. \nBring snacks and a picnic lunch to enjoy along the hike\, plus everything you need for a day of strenuous backcountry hiking. Sturdy closed-toe hiking shoes are required\, and layers are recommended. \nDistance: 9 miles \nElevation: 1500′ total ascent \nDifficulty: Strenuous \nPace: 2+ mph \nPlease note: While the trails we will be on are well-tended\, this area is known to have extremely high tick densities. Please take extra precautions when preparing for this hike (wear light-colored clothes\, wear pants that can be tucked into socks\, bring and use tick repellent\, etc.) and be sure to do a thorough tick-check following your day with us. \nPlease note that each participant must be individually registered (including kids\, who need to be accompanied by an adult). Hikers must be 15+ years of age. \nJoin the waitlist >>

SUMMARY:Join Waitlist: San Jose Creek Trail Hike on World Conservation Day | July 28
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy an out-and-back hike from Palo Corona (Rancho Cañada) to San Jose Creek! \n\n\n\nEvery step of this hike was made possible through our partnership with the Monterey Peninsula Regional Park District\, California State Parks\, and Point Lobos Foundation as collaborative members of the Lobos Corona Parkland project — along with generous donors and funders. This inspiring hike will first take us from Palo Corona Regional Park (Rancho Cañada) to the high point of Inspiration Point and the quiet beauty of Animas (“spirit”) Pond. From there\, we cross into former ranchlands (Whisler Wilson). The acquisition of the centrally located Whisler Wilson Ranch by Big Sur Land Trust\, and its subsequent transfer\, played a critical role in the trail connectivity we now enjoy. From there\, we will enjoy peeks of Point Lobos as we dip down\, winding along San Jose Creek and across three beautiful redwood bridges. We will enjoy our picnic lunches before our return hike. This hike is a beautiful reminder that collaboration can bring beautiful change and that our actions are stronger when taken together. We are grateful to our partners and to our donors\, for each step forward that we take together. \nBring snacks and a picnic lunch to enjoy along the hike\, plus everything you need for a day of strenuous backcountry hiking. Sturdy closed-toe hiking shoes are required\, and layers are recommended. \nDistance: 9 miles \nElevation: 1500′ total ascent \nDifficulty: Strenuous \nPace: 2+ mph \nPlease note: While the trails we will be on are well-tended\, this area is known to have extremely high tick densities.

SUMMARY:Volunteer: Course Sweep for Race for Open Space | May 27
DESCRIPTION:Are you an avid trail runner? Do you feel comfortable running solo over long distances and hilly terrain? Are you passionate about leave-no-trace principles? Then this is the opportunity for you! Big Sur Land Trust is seeking volunteers to sweep four in-person trail courses in Carmel Valley that overlap each other. These courses will be open on Saturday\, May 27 from 7:30am to 3pm for registered participants to run during their chosen time slot. \nCourse sweeps are given four hours to sweep between 13-15 miles of trail within the 12pm to 4pm timeframe. They will pick up any trash and remove flagging tape and other lightweight course markers along the way. An orientation will be provided over Zoom the week before. Course sweeps will arrive up to a half hour before their shift for orientation\, preparation\, and transport to the trailhead where they will begin sweeping. A radio will be provided for periodic communications with race staff. This is a special opportunity to immerse yourself in natural areas usually closed to the public while helping make these incredible race courses a success! \nLearn more and register to volunteer here >>

SUMMARY:Volunteer: Check-In Assistant for Race for Open Space | May 27
DESCRIPTION:Help trail participants have an adventure out on the land by being a check-in assistant! Big Sur Land Trust is seeking volunteers to help registered participants check in and receive race bibs during the live Race for Open Space “Adventure Courses” beginning at Palo Corona Regional Park. These courses will be open on May 27 from 7:30am to 3pm for registered participants to run during their chosen time slot. \nCheck-in assistants are stationed at the Palo Corona Discovery Center within the 7:00am to 10:00am timeframe. Assistants should arrive a half hour before their shift for a day-of orientation. Check-in assistants are responsible for checking in registered participants\, providing them with their assigned race bib\, encouraging participants to visit the start/finish aid station to fill up on water and snacks before they begin their race\, answering basic questions to help participants get to the race starting line or shuttle pick-up zone\, and referring more detailed questions to race staff. This is a low-key opportunity that makes a world of a difference for participants who will be experiencing long-distance trail courses in the backcountry of Palo Corona! \nLearn more and register to volunteer here >>
