Support Our Trails
Every year, we steward 26 miles of trails in the South Coast Wilderness.
AFTER: Rock armored drains are dry-stone masonry that fortify the trail for feet and wheels + sustainably divert water off the trail. We fix the ruts in the trail and reclaim damaged habitat.
Trails to be in nature. Trails for adventure.
Every year we Protect What Connects.
As a hiker, mountain biker, trail runner, explorer, you use the trails to connect with the best parts of yourself. To challenge yourself. To find respite from deadlines and screens. To stir ancient memories, and discover gifts no purely human environment can provide.
Trail work is part of the humble tradition of tending to the land we use. We maintain and improve trails to be good neighbors to the awesome diversity of life in these canyons. Trail work honors our symbiotic relationship with the land.
How will you Protect What Connects?
This year we’re undertaking a major improvement of Old Emerald Trail while caring for all the trails. Join us for a volunteer day to experience the fun, hard work of hands-on stewardship.
