Volunteer at Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park! (Monthly Events)

Flexible Schedule | Coloma, CA 95613

Help reduce the risk of wildfires by creating defensible space around the historic Thompson House! Volunteers will remove brush, soil, debris, and tall grasses from the area to create a 5-foot perimeter around the building. They will then fill the cleared space with decomposed granite. This will inhibit flame travel and create a noncombustible barrier around the foundation of the house.
