Gilroy Hot Springs during the SIP.

While the SIP remains in effect, Gilroy Hot Springs Conservancy is building a virtual organization.  The work that we do now remotely and over the internet will form the foundation of all GHSC activities when the SIP is lifted.  We have filed the articles of incorporation and will begin official board meetings in July.  We are developing a volunteer program that will recruit, train and maintain volunteers from all over the country.  

Update on the Gilroy Hot Springs and Henry Coe State Park 
The Diablo District Superintendent Eddie Guaracha  says “We have received approvals to use volunteers in parks.  We are not at a stage to conduct public tours at the hot springs, but we could use volunteers for work, as long as we have plans for maintaining social distancing and other work safety precautions.  We are not bringing back all our volunteers, only those supporting the next phase of increasing park access. ”

Message from GHSC Board
With official board meetings starting in July, we are looking for new board members.  The board meets monthly online every first Wednesday of the month 6-8pm.  The board will meet at the the hot springs for day long board retreats twice a year.  Board members should be ready to commit 15-20 hours per month.  We seek board members who are skillful, passionate and community minded.    If you have been thinking about applying or know someone who you think we should recruit, now is the time to speak up!
