SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS : Recreation Area Seeking Volunteers

The Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area is taking applications for volunteers to work on research projects and other areas of park operation. Training will begin in the fall, according to the National Park Service, which runs the recreation area--a network of mountain preserves extending from Griffith Park in Los Angeles to Point Mugu State Park in Ventura County. Those seeking further information or an application may contact the recreation area’s volunteers coordinator on Mondays, Tuesdays or Wednesdays at (818) 597-1036, ext. 205.
