The Green Patrol is a free service that the Foundation of the Sierra Greenway offers to the users of the Greenway. This service runs on weekends and holidays. Four helpful guides are located along the Greenway and perform the role of tourist information guide, advisor and help point. They also encourage respectful use of the Sierra Greenway. They are very easy to spot out of their uniform and ID badge. These four guides are young men and women from local towns on the Sierra Greenway: the Foundation thus contributes to create local employment.

The members of the Green Patrol are not health personnel. In case of medical emergency call 112 or 061.
