Moore Creek Open Space Trail Building
Updated 8:47 PM PDT, Tue, Jul 28, 2009
Thanks to all of you who turned out last Saturday for our Moore Creek Trail Building project in Napa.
Volunteers for Outdoor California (V-O-Cal.org), Napa County Regional Park and Open Space District hosted this volunteer trail building event on May 16 – 17.
Together volunteers built 850 feet of trail, including 180 feet where they had to do a bucket brigade, which took a lot more work than usual. They removed 1,200 feet of French Broom on an 8-foot wide trail, created a corridor through the brush along a 1,200-foot side slope, and created drain dips to improve water drainage. Not bad for a couple days of work!
This was a great opportunity to give back to the community, meet new people and enjoy the outdoors while constructing one of the first trails in the beautiful open space.
NBC Bay Area will be partnering with V-O-Cal again on June 5 - 7 at Fernandez Ranch. More information here
