Crags Road Trail Restoration in Malibu Creek State Park and Lunch


Details
We'll be working on the section of the trail that goes along the creek as it approaches the MAS*H site. It's fondly known as "The Rock Garden" or "The Creek of Doom."
The rains we had last winter have damaged the trail surface and caused lots of brush to grow up around it, so we'll be addressing both issues.

All tools will be provided, as well as instructions on how to use them safely and effectively, by experienced trail crew leaders. No experience needed - everyone works at a rate they're comfortable with and takes lots of breaks. Bring a snack to eat on the trail; CORBA will provide lunch after the event.
Wear sturdy hiking boots with good lugs, long pants, a long-sleeved shirt, sunglasses, sunblock and a hat, and bring water, snacks. Bring work gloves if you have them. We have a few pairs we can loan to people without.
This is a combined project between California State Parks, the Santa Monica Mountains Trails Council and CORBA.
