The objective of this project was to brush the section of the Backbone Trail that goes behind the Topanga School. We accomplished this and continued toward the
Dead Horse trail, up to the D. H. parking lot. We had a well-attended trailwork day with a total of 11 participants. We split into four units,
led by Greg Sweel, George Sherman, Dave Edwards, and John Kross. Greg with a weed whip went to the west end, at Old Topanga road, and worked back. George focused
on taking out two mid-sized trees blocking the trail and then took out many low hanging branches. Dave with a weed whip began at Greenleaf Canyon and worked toward
the school. John with the pole chain saw took out a large tree, cut back a large trunk that was jutting out into the trail, and cut dead branches and low hanging branches. Also, 5 drains were restored and ruts were filled in two areas. After lunch we all got together at Greenleaf Canyon and crossed Topanga Blvd to work on the Deadhorse trail. When we got to the Dead Horse parking lot it was time to quit so we called it a day. Total volunteer hours: 11 volunteers x 6 hours = 66 hours Feet of trail maintained: 3, 180
