You’ve enjoyed the Trails…..
NOW come and “Give a little Back” to the Trails that you Love!
Last year we “Thankfully” enjoyed Another increase of Volunteers; all who wanted to Help make Better Trails. With their dedicated work, they made many, MANY improvements and also built a LOT of New Trail on the John Muir, the Connector, and the Emma Carlin Trails – the John Muir Trail System!
For those of you who helped last year, we again Thank You very much for your efforts. We got LOTS of new trails Opened; some interesting, some challenging, but all much safer than what we had before. It was done with some hard work, some sweat, and a lotta Laughs…… AND we had a lot of FUN too!!
This year OUR main Goal is:
ReBuilding MORE of the Emma Carlin Trails – the hidden jewel in Our Trail System!
Last year WE Built a LOT of New Trail at the deteriorating Emma Carlin Trails, and what WE did get completed, turned out to be quite AweSome!!… but, WE have More to do. OUR plan for this year is to continue Building New and exciting Trails at the Carlin that will be self-sustainable for many years to come and allow the deteriorating areas to ‘Re-Forest’.
BUT, there are still some areas on the John Muir Trails that needs OUR attention, and OUR plan IS to get to some of those areas this year as well.
So……… we are still gonna need a Large Volunteer Work Crew to continue this revitalization. I’m confident that with YOUR support and HELP, we will see ALL of this year’s planned improvements realized, and WE will have even Better Trails to Enjoy!
Come out and Help! Let’s see what More we CAN get Done this year!
We will start the WorkDays Saturday, March 19, and will continue with our ‘Volunteer Workdays’ every Saturday thru April and May, to June 4th – National Trails Day – and OUR WorkCrews TrailBuilding Celebration!
Our Meeting Time and place, in March, will be at the John Muir TrailHead Parking Lot, at 8:30 am, BOTH Saturdays, with our ‘Leaving Time’ to work at 9:00 am, and typically ending at noon. In April, Our Meeting Place will switch to the Emma Carlin TrailHead Parking Lot – same times.
We will supply all the tools. We suggest that you have work gloves, and we recommend that you wear long sleeved shirts and long pants (WE be cuttin’ trail through the woods!)
Come Out and Help, Please!
….and have some FUN!
