Thanks to all who turned out for the trail work day at Crockett Hills on Saturday, 11/8. Nearly 60 volunteers worked alongside EBRPD park staff to rebuild trail tread and improve drainage on Soaring Eagle trail.
EBRPD park staff brought their Toro Dingo, and this was a productive mix of machine work alongside hand work by volunteers, which could be a good model for future trail work collaborations with EBRPD.
Most areas seemed to have decent moisture thanks to our recent rains, although a couple looked like they were still pretty hard and tough to work. We’ll try to keep those spots in mind and avoid them under similar conditions.
Thanks to everyone who stepped in to pick up tasks like cleaning and separating tools, putting tools away in our storage box, coordinating parking, getting vests on volunteers, and helping out whenever you saw something to be done. We got a lot of work done with a big crew and consider that to be a huge success.
This event was one of several events that were part of the Bay Area Ridge Trail’s Day of Service. That association and its different channels for advertising and outreach reached some different pools of volunteers, and we look forward to more future collaborations.
