Mapping

Our volunteers are involved in ongoing mapping projects of Peninsula area trails. The Trail Center produced the popular Peninsula Parklands map, a colorful guide to parks and open space preserves from San Francisco to Santa Cruz, and our Southern Peninsula trail map, the most accurate guide to 150 miles of trails between Windy Hill and Saratoga Gap. We are currently preparing an updated 3rd edition of the Peninsula Parklands map and the Trail Map of the Central Peninsula, a companion to the Southern Peninsula map.
     If you have never mapped before, our experienced volunteers will train (see How do We Map a Trail?). Mapping provides volunteer opportunities in spectacular settings while offering a chance to help out without contact with poison oak, which is often present on trail building projects.
     Mapping days take place once or twice a month (varies). Check our calendar for current schedule. Contact volunteer@trailcenter.org for more information
