🌿✨ We aren’t just about building new trails; we also care for them. Trail stewardship is vital for maintaining the beauty and safety of our outdoor spaces. Our volunteers have been hard at work clearing seasonal debris and trimming back plants that were encroaching on Hill Creek Trail.
The Pump House bridge was collecting fallen leaves. Thanks to volunteer labor and a leaf blower, it is now clear and ready for riding, running, and watching the salmon swim upstream!
In the Big Meadow, we’ve cleared back the wildflowers and briars, opening up the trail for easier access. Not only does this prevent briars from snagging the clothes and skin of trail users, but this bit of “trail gardening” also helps the wildflowers bloom bigger and better each year.
It only takes a few days of wind and rain for the trails to become covered with leaves and eventually turn into a slippery mess. Clearing leaves is an important part of maintaining the hard pack and drainage of the trail surface, ensuring that the trails can be enjoyed year-round.
By investing time and effort into trail stewardship, we enhance the outdoor experience for all users.
Join us in caring for our trails so that the community can enjoy these peaceful pathways for years to come!
