Trail Restoration on the Guadalasca Trail in Pt. Mugu State Park (Sycamore Cyn)

We have made a lot of progress on fixing up Guadalasca over the past 3 sessions, but long sections higher up were devastated by the rain in December! Happily the lower sections we already worked have held up well, but there is lots to keep us busy higher up. This is a joint project between CORBA and the Santa Monica Mountains Trails Council.

We will be driving into the park with 4-wheel drive vehicles. Transportation is limited so be sure to sign up to secure a ride in!

At this time State Parks is requiring all volunteers working on state park property to provide valid proof of vaccination against COVID-19. Please bring proof of vaccine to this event.

We'll drive into the park from the meeting point to the work area at 8:30, so be sure you get there early enough to have your proof of vaccination checked.

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 snacks and lunch to eat on the trail; we'll break for lunch about 11:30.

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 - we can't loan you gloves during the pandemic.
