This is the newest trail in the Conejo Open Space. Trails Council crew leaders have surveyed and flagged the trail, and led crews on trail work day from the time the trail was laid out. The main objective for this day was to finish cutting in the trail. There is some work left to be done but it’s mostly cosmetic, trail building per se is now complete. The trail work event was organized by the Rotary Club of Thousand Oaks. We had, including the 5 crew leaders, a total of 58 volunteers. This total includes 4 rangers who actively participated. Crew leaders for this event were Anne Russell, George Sherman, Barbara Thomas, Bill Dinino, and John Kross. Crew leaders met at the Yarrow Family YMCA to get trail assignments. Volunteers were assigned to one of 5 crews. Crews proceeded to hike to work areas, which involved hiking roughly 7/10ths of a mile uphill, carrying tools. Volunteers were willing and able, and getting to the work areas was not a problem for anyone. In addition to cutting in the trail, volunteers restored trail width where narrowed by dirt that washed down with the rains, and filled in ruts. Crews hiked back down the hill. Everyone was treated to lunch and a drawing was held, with prizes. Day complete, everyone left Total Volunteer Hours: 58 people x 4 hours = 232 hours Feet of trail maintained: 1, 428
