Earth Day + Friends of Madera Canyon

We’re recruiting volunteers aged 12 and up who want to spend a few hours giving back to their community in honor of Earth Day on April 18, 2026!  Please join us from 8:00 am to 11:00 am to restore the habitat near the Old Baldy Approach trail.  We’ll meet at the Wrightson parking area in Madera Canyon, where we’ll collect your volunteer registration forms and permission slips, if under 18, and make work assignments.

To ensure we have adequate tools, equipment, and donuts, please register:
