Trail Maintenance


Volunteer-led trail maintenance efforts are ongoing throughout the wet season and have several elements:
  • Scraping leafy debris and mud off trails down to the original gravel base.
  • Spreading fresh, usually thin layers of gravel on trail segments that have become soggy.
  • Adding deeper layers of gravel to spots that are ponding during rainstorms, to elevate them.
  • Widening trail segments that have been narrowed by slow erosion from their uphill sides.
  • Cleaning out and occasionally replacing culverts and adding new ones.
  • Restoring or adding ditches beside and across trails, to keep water off them.
