Join an exciting new trail improvement program in Santa Barbara! 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 is a great opportunity to learn about trail maintenance and join a new program on how to maintain trails.
We are looking for regular volunteers who are passionate about making a discernable environmental impact and allowing the public to more easily enjoy the outdoors. 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 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.
Join us for our first volunteer trail restoration day on November 20th at 9am. Start your weekend off right with local like-minded trail activists and community members who want to keep our trails and our environment happy and healthy.
Register for this exciting new opportunity by following the link above. You will meet at the San Marcos Foothills, West Mesa at the end of Via Gaitero Road at 9:00 AM. We look forward to a terrific trail day!
When You Volunteer With Us Please Remember:
Wear long pants for comfort and safety & bring sunscreen and a sunhat
Bring plenty of water for the day and snacks if you would like too.
All volunteers must be fully vaccinated from COVID-19 (or have a negative test).
