Mark Moskowitz and Eric Johnston have formed Mount Diablo Trails Alliance and have set in motion some terrific trail stewardship and advocacy efforts at Mount Diablo State Park. They have been performing trail maintenance on MDSP trails for several years and have built a constructive relationship with the park supervisor and park staff. Mount Diablo Trails Alliance is the formalization of this effort to improve trail quality, land stewardship, and equitable access in MDSP.
MDTA is now leading state park sanctioned trail maintenance days and has monthly dig days scheduled through May. This follows several productive work days at the end of 2023. These work days are bringing mountain bikers, hikers, trail runners, and equestrians out to improve the trails and demonstrate trail community support to fill a gap. This work is fundamental to implementation of the 2016 RTMP (Roads and Trails Management Plan) for Mount Diablo State Park which includes expansion of mountain bike access through modification of sight lines and other similar trail improvements to make trails safer for multi-use equitable access. Check them out further at their website. We urge you to support Mount Diablo Trails Alliance by attending a dig day if you can fit it in your schedule. You’ll be glad you went and it’ll be a day you won’t forget.
You can follow them on Instagram @mountdiablotrailsalliance.
