Come volunteer and learn about the unique cultural and natural history of Alcatraz, while restoring the historic gardens of the island. Activities will include debris removal projects, mulching, and planting. Throughout the project, volunteers will be introduced to the stories of the gardens and have the opportunity to visit some areas not accessible to the public. As an added bonus, garden volunteers arrive on Alcatraz before other visitors, so you can experience the island during the most tranquil time of day.
