Bald Mountain Project, Sierra National Forest, California

The Bald Mountain project entails the improvement and stabilization of an existing four wheel drive trail. A half-mile section of the trail receives heavy run-off during storm events, leading to trail erosion. This section is located where stream bank restoration is also necessary. Several “cheater routes” will also be restored. Finally, a brochure and map of the trail will be created to guide public along this restored designated route.

Volunteer Work Day for Bald Mountain Project:

Friday, August 1, 2008

Interested? Email: treadlightly@treadlightly.org

Volunteers will be needed to move some rocks, do some shovel work, and do some "armoring" of the creek-- which means laying flat rock down on the stream bed to prevent dibilitating erosion.

I wish it were closer to here.

see. not only would it benefit our cause as offroaders, but i actually enjoy that type of work

i agree its too bad that its so far

You guys should think of some places to work on and see if TL will help organize a clean-up/maintenance day.

If you guys want, just pm me the park/wilderness area you want to work on, the specific area that needs work and what you would like to do and I'll get in touch with them and see how it can be arranged.

I'll email them on my lunch break and see if I can get some info about organizing stuff like this.

I'm with you guys, I like doing this type stuff and there are a lot of places around here that need some work. I'll keep my eyes posted for new projects coming up. They have a few other projects lined up but no dates set yet.
