Channel Islands Restoration is coordinating a trail maintenance program that will provide easier trail accessibility, stable footing, and designated walking paths for visitors, hikers, and outdoor enthusiasts at the San Marcos Foothills West Mesa Preserve located in Santa Barbara. This series of Santa Barbara based volunteer opportunities is a great opportunity to learn about trail maintenance and join a new program on how to maintain trails in the local community.

We are looking for regular volunteers who are passionate about making a discernable environmental impact and allowing the public to enjoy the outdoors more easily. This will be a regular opportunity to get involved with a volunteer group that will actively meet at least once a month!

This is the perfect time of year for trail restoration as the soft ground and cooler temperatures will make it easy to get the maximum benefits from our efforts and will allow us to widen trails where necessary with ease.

Sign up for trail restoration by joining our volunteer list on our website. Enjoy the company of local like-minded trail activists and community members who want to keep our trails and our environment happy and healthy.

We look forward to a terrific trail program!
