Camaraderie and trail work in the redwood forest
Adventure Sports JournalΒ was proud to sponsor December 20’sΒ Mountain Bikers of Santa CruzΒ Volunteer Trail Work Day on their flow trail project at Soquel Demonstration State Forest (SDSF).Β 25 volunteers pitched in to work on drainage and other maintenance on the existing flow trail segments and other SDSF trails.
We supported the trail crew by providing a delicious lunch, post-workday snacks, and an array of volunteer raffle goodies including an Eagles Nest Outfitters (ENO) hammock, Platypus Gravity Works pump-free water filtration system, Ninkasi Sleigh’r six packs, ASJ/DeschutesΒ trucker hats and OspreyΒ koozies.Β We appreciate the day’s hardworking crew and other generous supporters, and hope to help out with the flow trail project more in the future.
A partnership between MBoSC andΒ theΒ California Department of Forestry and Fire ProtectionΒ (CAL FIRE), the flow trail projectβsΒ objectives are to promote mountain biking by creating a progressive trail that can be enjoyed by riders of all ages and ability level, and to increase the diversity of riding opportunities, demonstrate innovative and sustainable trail building design and techniques, and provide a model for other land managers for similar types of projects.
Volunteer involvement is crucial to completing this innovative project, and all are welcome at work days (think: epic family experience)βno trail work experience required. Trail work events are scheduled for twice a month; see the work day schedule here.
