BEFORE YOU WILL BE MOVED TO THE GOING LIST, YOU WILL NEED TO UPDATE YOUR CDH PROFILE (The three questions must be answered with a “yes”) IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY DONE SO.
Our trails have taken a real beating over the past 2 years during the pandemic. With hordes of people taking to the trails instead of their gyms, and not being able to gather groups of volunteers to help fix them, many trails are in dire need of repair!
Finally we’re able to start addressing the backlog of needed restoration work, hopefully before the winter rains do much more damage.
We’ll be working on the very popular, rocky and rutted Wood Canyon Vista Trail, sometimes just called the Backbone Trail. This is a joint project with the Santa Monica Mountains Trails Council and the Concerned Off-Road Bicyclists Association, and everyone is welcome to join in!
At this time State Parks requires all volunteers to provide valid proof of vaccination against COVID-19. Please bring proof of vaccine to this event.
We’ll caravan from the meeting point to the work area at 8:30, so be sure you get there early enough to have your proof of vaccination checked.
All tools will be provided, as well as instructions on how to use them safely and effectively, by experienced trail crew leaders. No experience needed – everyone works at a rate they’re comfortable with and takes lots of breaks. Bring a snacks and lunch to eat on the trail; we’ll break for lunch about 11:30.
Wear sturdy hiking boots with good lugs, long pants, a long-sleeved shirt, sunglasses, sunblock and a hat, and bring water, snacks. Bring work gloves – we can’t loan you gloves during the pandemic.
