What we found: The 2026 handbook verifies a substantial volunteer system with trained coordinators rather than simply a general invitation to donate time. Visitor roles include trailhead and bike ambassadors, interpretation and winter activities; stewardship includes trails, gardens and invasive-plant work. New volunteers complete an application and orientation, with spring sessions and occasional other training arrangements. These are useful day-use host and caretaker categories for the site. Volunteer access privileges are described, but the handbook does not establish residential housing or an RV placement.
