For our stewardship efforts, we support the work of our NPS colleagues at key park sites. This includes areas that support endangered species as well as several historic gardens. We partner with our  community engagment team to create welcoming and inclusive spaces, to offer related educational programming, and to support on-the-ground stewardship efforts. 

Join us in the field as we work to care for these parklands!

The Alcatraz Gardens Stewardship Program aims to preserve and maintain the historic gardens once tended by the island’s military and penitentiary residents, and to interpret their significance to visitors. The Program relies on dedicated volunteers and uses organic practices to maintain the gardens.
