This was the first of probably three events along this segment of the Backbone Trail. Ten volunteers began working on the connector trail from Stunt Road to the BBT. Encroaching brush was cleared to restore the trail corridor’s width. We used a combination of weed whip, brush cutter and mcleods to remove both native and invasive brush. Several volunteers skipped ahead and began working on the BBT as it winds down towards Piuma.
Trail width was restored on a few sections and overhead branches were removed to provide clearance for equestrians.
A lunch break provided an opportunity to discuss future efforts to work on this trail and to enjoy the shade.
The heat was noticeable as we worked on sun drenched segments of trail. We began the hike back a bit after 1:35.
Work completed for the day. 4,200 feet of trail brushed.
Total volunteer hours: 10 Volunteers x 6.0 hours = 60 hours
