This was a special project to provide trail maintenance skills training to the CSUCI Tail Corps members. This is the follow-up to the previously held “knowledge” training. We met at the tail head on Mulholland Hwy. There were three CSUCI Trail Corps members and two SMMTC volunteers present. Met at trailhead: Primary objective of this event was to develop skills in the tasks of brush clearance, slough removal and drainage repairs. Corps members were instructed in proper lopping techniques, hiding of cuttings, slough removal and restoring of outslope. There was only one (inside) drain needing work. . Completed work hiked back to the trail head. Completed event Total volunteer hours: 5 Volunteers x 6.0 hours = 30.0 hours Feet of trail maintained: 453.
