Volunteering Overview

The COSCA Volunteer Corps has many ways for you to help maintain and preserve the open space that surrounds our beautiful Conejo Valley. By joining with others, we can make sure that the trails, canyons, and ridge lines will be enjoyed by visitors for generations to come.

Here are some of the activities we support. Required training is provided for volunteers who would like to participate.

Adopt-A-Trail Similar to the ubiquitous Adopt-a-Highway program, individuals, families or other groups take on the responsibility for maintaining a trail or trail segment. Learn more…
