National Trails Day at Fernandez Ranch

Join us and help build a new section of the Bay Area Ridge Trail at Fernandez Ranch!

Volunteers for Outdoor California (V-O-Cal.org) and the Muir Heritage Land trust are hosting this volunteer trail building event on June 5 - 7.

Volunteers can choose to make this a one or two day activity, and are welcome to camp (free!) both Friday and Saturday nights.  A continental breakfast will be served on Saturday morning, and Saturday evening there will be snacks, dinner, and entertainment.  A hot breakfast on will be served on Sunday morning. Brown bag lunches are provided on both days.

This is 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.
