June 13th- Jesusita Fire Trails Restoration- National Trails Day

The trails need your help! On Saturday, June 13th the agencies and most local trail organizations including ourselves will be involved in repairing the trails effected by the Jesusita Fire. Trails to be repaired June 13th include: Jesusita, Tunnel, Rattlesnake, and West Fork of Cold Springs. There is still a lot of work to be done in order to re-open these trails- you can make a difference! We will meet at Skofield Park and most likely have a BBQ following. Tell a friend and check our homepage for more details about this event.

Tunnel Trail Restoration Re-Cap

Our first trail maintenance project following the Jesusita Fire this past Saturday was a success. We were asked by the USFS to help out with the restoration of Tunnel Trail which needed a lot of work. Six lucky volunteers took the task of removing a ton of shale, debris, and ash from the lower section of Tunnel Trail. It was very hard work and the team worked hard, but in the end the trail tread became visible again and measures to ensure it stayed that way hopefully will last. Also on hand were the LPNF Hot Shots who tackled the upper section of Tunnel. Tunnel is very much on the way to coming back to life especially with thanks to the hard work of: Carolyn P, Joani M, Chris O, Pete L, and Chris K. -Dave for the MTC
