Our Generous Sponsors

A special shout out to four of our hardworking Trail Crew Leaders who have provided raffle prizes or monetary donations: Don Brusselars, Dave Edwards, Anne M. Russell and George Sherman. Many, many thanks to Dave Edwards and the numerous people who collect recyclable bottles and cans throughout the year to generate substantial cash toward purchasing raffle items!

How does free camping at the Danielson Ranch in Point Mugu State Park, a barbecue dinner, coffee & bagels in the mornings and the chance to win one of a few dozen raffle prizes - in exchange for some much needed work on our trails, sound? We could sure use your help! Come work with us for a day or two. We have been gathering together in April as hikers, runners and cyclists to work on the trails we love and use since 1981. We have crew leaders from the Trails Council, the Sierra Club Task Force and CORBA to teach you the basics of trail work (if needed) and then guide you as we work on several different trails in the park. The recent rains have provided ample opportunity to repair stream crossings and washed out sections of the trail. In some areas you might be building or clearing drains. Working on trails is good exercise and many of us find it enjoyable. When the weekend is over, your trails are in better shape and we all benefit. If we have done our job right, you may start thinking about coming back out to work with us!
