ALL VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS ARE CURRENTLY POSTPONED DUE TO WILDFIRE SMOKE CREATING UNSAFE AIR QUALITY
Come volunteer with Sutro Stewards and join us in physically distanced habitat restoration activities such as weeding, mulching and native planting and work towards our mission of building community, connecting people with nature, and protecting and enhancing Mount Sutro, one of the city’s wildest and most beautiful green spaces. Due to COVID-19, we've adapted our volunteer events to ensure that volunteers remain 6 feet apart throughout volunteer programs, wear face coverings throughout the volunteer event, along with modified and increased sanitation of tools. We ask that all volunteers review this screening questionnaire the day before coming out to volunteer.
Volunteers are required to RSVP before attending each volunteer event! Events are limited in size in accordance with the City's guidelines on outdoor gatherings.
We have volunteer program available on Wednesdays, reserved for at-risk volunteers 60+ or with underlying health conditions that put them at higher risk of COVID-19, and Thursdays, open to all other volunteers. Sign up below!

Nature in your Neighborhood
Standing Virtual Volunteer Event
A collaboration between Hands on Bay Area and Sutro Stewards
We are so excited to announce the launch of a new virtual volunteer opportunity created in partnership with Hands on Bay Area and Sutro Stewards. Nature in Your Neighborhood is an interactive, virtual program where we challenge you to go out into your backyards or neighborhoods to learn more about the plants that grow around you. Volunteers will attend an orientation with Sutro Stewards staff to learn how to identify Bay Area native and invasive plants and their impact on our local environment. We will supply you with all the resources you need to learn about the plants around you. Volunteers will then be tasked to venture into their backyards and neighborhoods to flex their new identification skills. You can create a short video about your plants, take photos and do a write up for our blog or create any other creative content for Sutro Stewards’ use on social media platforms. We ask you to rejoin us after your discovery to share your findings with the group. Develop your own green thumbs and learn about the environment in your backyards and neighborhoods! Volunteers will first meet us via Zoom for an orientation every 2nd Saturday of the month and then reconvene via Zoom the following Tuesday to share your findings with the group.
