Seven volunteers met at the Backbone Trail trailhead on Old Topanga Canyon Road. We reviewed the precautions we are taking for the COVID-19 pandemic, did the safety talk, and discussed the tasks to be accomplished. Then we split into two groups and proceeded to the work areas. We fixed a badly trenched 45 foot long portion of the trail. Brush was cleared along the trail corridor and segments of trail were widened by a foot or two. In many segments overhead branches were removed when deemed too low to be safe for equestrians. Another crew went on ahead and repaired tread where needed by cutting into the slope. In some cases the lower part of the tread was slipping downhill and had to be recut. We proceeded to hike back to the trailhead. Packed up tools and debriefed. Total volunteer hours: 7volunteers x 6 hours = 42 hours Feet of trail maintained: 0.55 miles = 2800 feet Tim Houger joined us.
