Join the Bay Area Badgers as we volunteer with Golden Gate National Parks at Alcatraz Island! Volunteer activities include weeding, pruning, and planting. Through the project, volunteers will be introduced to the stories of the gardens and have the opportunity to visit some areas not accessible to the public. As an added bonus, garden volunteers arrive on Alcatraz before other visitors, so you can experience the island during the most tranquil time of day.
Meeting Location: Alcatraz Ferry – Pier 33 – Embarcadero Drive | Nearest intersection is The Embarcadero and Bay Street. Just south of this intersection is Pier 33. Enter the Pier and walk past the ticket booth towards the white fence and entrance to the boats. The boat boards at 8 a.m. Arrive early for boarding!

- Bring sun protection, such as a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen.
