San Marcos Greenbelt Alliance
Volunteer Opportunities

The mission of SMGA is to create and conserve an interconnected system of parks and natural areas for our community and future generations. What does that mean?

It means working with developers, the city, and the county to find compromises. It means helping the public understand the potential damage to the San Marcos River of building on sensitive land. It means qualifying for grants to create accessible trails, signage, and educational opportunities. And it means on-going programs that help preserve our psychological and physical health by getting us out into the natural world.

We can't do it alone. We need support from people who understand the importance of natural areas and are willing to volunteer time and donate money. SMGA is a non-profit, 501(c)(3), all volunteer organization that survives on the membership dues, donations, grants, perspiration, brains and brawn of people who understand the value of the natural world. So, find a volunteer opportunity or let us know of a project that you're interested in, and let's get to work!

Kiosk Display Case Builder

Description: We are looking for someone who has tools and experience to build a couple more display cases like those at the entrances to Ringtail Ridge and Lower Purgatory / Prospect Park. We will provide all necessary building materials and supplies. (We currently have all the materials for one display case.) This is a great opportunity to help out on a one-time basis if you have the time, skills, and tools.
Date/Time/Frequency: Flexible! This project can be spread out over several weeks/months if necessary.
Desired Skills: Table saw and other necessary woodworking tools and ability to design and build display cases as described above.
