Sugarloaf New Volunteer Orientation

Enjoy the beauty of this special place in Sonoma Valley while joining our wonderful community of volunteers. Volunteer with Team Sugarloaf and become an integral piece in keeping Sugarloaf Ridge State Park operating. Join us for an orientation on February 16, May 24, July 19, or October 5, 2025, from 1:00-3:00 pm to learn about the history of Sugarloaf, how Sonoma Ecology Center operates the park, and what volunteer opportunities we have. The orientation will take place at the Robert Ferguson Observatory classroom.

Volunteers play a vital role at Sugarloaf. We have a host of volunteer opportunities to restore and maintain this natural treasure and to help to keep Sugarloaf open to the public. Initial training is provided, with periodic docent enrichment events. We need volunteers to:

Become docents at the Visitor Center

Direct visitors at the entrance kiosk

Assist with data entry

Aid project research and grant-writing

Work on trail and park maintenance projects

Facilitate special events and parking
