Laguna Canyon Foundation acts as a bridge between the wilderness and the surrounding world. Through free guided hikes and rides, volunteer stewardship events, and elementary school education programs, we connect people to the land, fostering a sense of stewardship and responsibility.
Public Programs and Events
Do you want to learn more about native plants or geology? Maybe you’re just looking for a good workout or a meditative walk in nature. Browse our wonderful variety of wilderness activities: from fitness hikes to kid-friendly programs to native plant and wildflower hikes, there’s something for everyone.
Habitat Restoration and Trail Stewardship
We couldn’t do the conservation work we do without volunteers.
Ready to get a little dirty while helping preserve this rich, biodiverse habitat? Join us for a morning of maintaining trails, tending to the plants in our native plant nursery or stewarding one of our restoration sites by planting, weeding and/or watering.
No formal training required. Let’s #KeepItWild.
Education
Thanks to the generous support of donors and grantors, each school year Laguna Canyon Foundation brings second through fifth grade students from our twelve Title I partner schools and select local schools for a day on the trails. Using Next Generation Science Standards, our programs offer the students both a healthy wilderness experience and real-life lessons to complement their school studies.
“In the end, we will conserve only what we love; we will love only what we understand and we will understand only what we are taught.”
– Baba Dioum
