Replace the sentences-long descriptions with a few words. Bill suggests having bullet points. Replace the pictures.

The individual volunteer description pages (trail watch, etc) are going away to be replace with a single page with accordion expansion sections. That will affect the links on this page.

The Conejo Open Space Foundation provides financial, volunteer, educational and organizational support for the Conejo Open Space Conservation Agency (COSCA) and the Conejo Open Space Trails Action Committee (COSTAC) programs and other activities. None of these activities would be possible without extensive support from volunteers. If you would like to help us, please visit our volunteer page and fill out the application form.

Here are some of the activities we support. In addition to these, there are a number of activities for volunteers. We provide training that is required for volunteers who would like to participate.
