This was a planned trail maintenance event the California State Parks Foundation at Malibu Lagoon. We met at the lagoon parking lot at 8am and received a safety briefing and tool talk. The focus was on pruning and lopping overgrown vegetation from the trail corridor to provide clear and safe access for park visitors, including along an ADA-compliant trail. We used loppers, hand pruners, hand saws, McLeods, and rakes. Care was taken in pruning native plants and removing invasive weeds and grasses. This project helped promote the health of the native plant restoration throughout the lagoon. We worked on the ADA trail doing some brushing and removing vegetation encroaching onto the path. After that was done, we continued more brushing and vegetation removal around some information signs and down along a path next to the lagoon. We managed to restore a well-groomed trail corridor. We ended at Noon.
We cleared approximately 0.25 mile.
