Participating in the Adopt A Trail program helps keep our trails OPEN for all to use. This is accomplished in two ways.

First, by direct on the ground work maintaining our trails to FS standards so that the trails can remain safe to travel on and in proper condition to protect resources such as air quality, wildlife habitat and water quality.

Second, the hours volunteered to the program are used by the Forest Service to apply for grant money from the California OHV Green Sticker fund. Without these grant monies the OHV program budgets would be severely reduced.

Also by attending the Adopt A Trail events you get to interact one on one with Forest Service staff.

Here are the things that were accomplished in FY 2011-2012

I was really glad I stayed Sunday last month after SoCal Fest to do a bit of work on 2N04. Thanks, karstic, for spearheading this operation. I had a bunch of fun.

fixed it for you :D
 
when I can get there I attend the adopt a trail events.... but since I haven't been able to get the simple help I need locally to get my truck running, I cant tow my rig to the trails so I can go help.... quite the perplexing conundrum... got help this last Friday, not from any one I have helped before ( and there are quite a few ) but from a guy who just wants to be a good guy... I will be back on the trails soon I hope and I will be joining in to keep them open....
