We have been fortunate to find individuals and groups enthusiasticly sharing our vision and purpose to protect, preserve, and restore Gilroy Yamato Hot Springs.
- Protecting structures from fire, vandalism, and weathering - clearing underbrush, installing surveillence cameras, increasing activities on site, covering buildings with tarps, removing dirt away from baseboards;
- Eagle Scout opportunities include building bulletin boards, repairing water culvert, placing protective tarps over buildings, documenting materials for reconstruction;
- Restoration plans garner resources to maximize the visitor experience, providing the flavor and feel of the 140 years of heritage this site reflects. This includes architectural documentation, collecting photos and artifacts, ;
- Sharing the experience via photos, video, stories, virtual tours, and miniature models of the historic buildings.
As with all organizations, we welcome contributions of talent, time, resources and donations.
We are in transition and anticipate temporary function again under the 501(c)(3) charitable donation status of the The Pine Ridge Associatioj, the official Cooperative Association for Henry W. Coe State Park, until we acquire our own 501(c)(3) status and become a separate Cooperative Association specifically for Gilroy Yamato Hot Springs.
Please join us:
- Adopt a Building: by financing the cost of restoration, contributing materials, and/or volunteering time and talent.
- Schedule a Special Event for your group for a tour, picnic, camping, and mineral water soaks, combined with a few hours of volunteer work. Subject to availability, these are "green" events -- pack-in/pack-out -- that do not leave a footprint on the ecology, and contribute a few hours of volunteer work or other contributions. Pricing varies according to the length of time, and amount of resources needed.
