Scouts from Troop 801 of Brea follow Trailbuilder Helen Oakley to work on the Big Cienega Trail.
|
For this spring and summer 2007, we are continuing to work on river access trails in the North and East Forks of the San Gabriel River. We will also continue restoring trails in the Crystal Lake basin. We work on the first, third, and fifth, Saturday of each month.
Please come help us!
- We meet at Ranch Market at the corner of 9th Street and Azusa Avenue (Highway 39), in Azusa, in the north side of the parking lot. (See map below.)
- We car pool from Ranch Market to the work site, leaving at 8:00 AM sharp. We usually return to the market between 3:30 and 4:00.
- Bring your lunch and at least 2 quarts of water per person.
- Bring work gloves and wear lug-soled boots for your safety.
- Bring a day pack (You will be expected to carry tools along with your own gear).
- Bring extra clothing (temperatures in the mountains can fluctuate widely).
- All tools and instruction are provided.
- Rain cancels the trip, and the leaders maintain the right to cancel the trip for any reason.
Anyone who wants to become involved is welcome. A volunteer under age 18 years old must have written consent form his or her parent or guardian.

Attention Scouts and Scouters:
 We have for years worked closely with many Boy Scout troops throughout Orange and Los Angeles Counties, who have primarily been in need of service hours for advancement. We can accomodate individuals or groups of Scouts most any of the Saturdays in which work is scheduled. There are always plenty of experienced trailbuilders to assist and supervise, tools to use, and work to do.
The work is hard and dusty but it helps boys and their dads or moms to learn the rudiments of proper trailbuilding and maintenance. It gives them an appreciation for what it took to build that Sierras' trail they tread last summer. They learn how to use unusual tools, to build rock walls, steps and culverts, to pull out stumps, and to properly grade a trail to prevent eroson.
