Eight crew leaders and two volunteer guests met at the Backbone Trail trailhead on Old Topanga Canyon Road. We reviewed the precautions we are taking for the COVID-19 pandemic, did the safety talk, and discussed the tasks to be accomplished. Then we split into three groups and proceeded to the work areas.
We moved a badly trenched 25 foot long portion of the trail uphill, away from the trench. We cut with the power pole saw and removed a large tree fallen across the trail, brushed extensively with the power brush cutter, built five drains, and built a sorely needed 73 foot long diversion around the old wooden steps. As we completed our work in the lower section we moved up the trail, widening spots that were dangerously narrow. We also removed a large rock that pinched the trail to a width of approx. 18 inches, providing a wider path for hikers and equestrians.
Total volunteer hours: 10 volunteers x 6 hours = 60 hours
Feet of trail maintained: 0.4 miles = 2,112 feet
