California Archaeological Site Stewardship Program (CASSP)

Wakamatsu Farm
On October 26, there will be a CASSP Heritage Hike at the Wakamatsu Farm near Coloma.

What we do

We recruit, train, and support members of the public to volunteer as site stewards at archaeological and historical sites.

Site stewards regularly visit their assigned sites and report site conditions. They keep sensitive site information confidential. They do not dig in the site or remove artifacts.

Site stewards work with state and federal public agencies and at private conservation organizations. They are supervised by local archaeologists to whom they submit their reports on site conditions.

CASSP activities provide volunteers with purposeful work, support agency archaeologists, and help protect heritage sites.
