On Saturday, March 27, about two dozen volunteers took part in the Conejo Open Space Conservation Agency’s (COSCA) Spring Trailwork Day. There were a few CORBA volunteers including Board of Directors member Danusia Bennet-Taber as well as volunteers from COSCA and the Santa Monica Mountains Trails Council (SMMTC). The largest contingent were Disney volunteers, who get a free pass to Disneyland for volunteering to help the community for a day. What a great way to encourage and reward volunteerism – our thanks to Disney Corp!
We worked on the Mountain Creek Trail in Newbury Park. This trail was built last October during the Annual COSCA Trailwork Day by a much larger group of volunteers (see photo gallery). On Saturday, we widened much of the top section, fixed the drainage around a switchback and cleared out a lot of overgrowing brush on the Reino / Potrero Ridge Trail it connects to.
On our way back down at the end of the workday, we passed a pair of mountain bikers on their way up. In the few months that this trail has been in existance, it has already become a popular trail to access the multiple singletrack trails in Dos Vientos!
You can view the photo gallery of Saturday’s work. Many thanks to all the volunteers who came out to help!
