Get Involved

Visit Samuel P. Taylor State Park! Soak up as much information and inspiration as you can. If you’ll be coming to this or other California state parks frequently, buy a parks pass—an excellent way to save money and support state parks. 

Volunteer your time to assist visitors and protect the park. Among the possibilities are:

Camp Hosting
Camp hosts assist park visitors with registration, information, and firewood sales. They may also help the maintenance staff with minor projects. Each camp host should be willing to volunteer a minimum of 30 hours per week including weekends and holidays. Hosts must provide their own self-contained RV or trailer. For more information, click here, contact the ranger office at 415-488-0291 or send an email to nicholas.streit@parks.ca.gov.

One Tam
The Tamalpais Lands Collaborative, also known as One Tam, offers volunteer opportunities in the region that includes Taylor. See the One Tam website for details.

Volunteers who serve at Samuel P. Taylor more than three days a year receive state park volunteer training. For more information, contact Supervising State Park Peace Officer Natasha Gilchrist at natasha.gilchrist@parks.ca.gov.

Support non-profit groups working on behalf of this park, including One Tam, and Save the Redwoods League.

On the League’s website, you can learn about other ways to get involved in redwoods protection—including taking a pledge, entering a photo contest, or becoming a citizen scientist.
