Plant Restoration/Trail Maintenance at Saddle Peak Malibu Creek State Park. Crewleader=Jerry Mitcham This project was scheduled for the CSUCI Trail Corp. Today we had two regular SMMTC volunteers and five Trail Corps members. The main objective of day's the project was to give the Trail Corps members an opportunity to work on the ongoing Spanish broom removal project. As it turned out, there was very little restoration work to do, so most of the day's activities was regular trail maintenance on the Saddle Peak Trail. Generally, the ongoing restoration project on Saddle Peak has been so successful, that there was very little restoration work to do. However, we began the day treating the small number of plants in the small meadow above the water tank. Later in the day, we treated a few plants on the top of the peak. The major part of the day we performed routine trail maintenance on the Saddle Peak portion of the Backbone Trail. This work included cleaning out several large drains and removing much brush alongside and overhead off the trail. Total volunteer hours: 7 Volunteers x 6 hours = 42 hours Feet of trail maintained: 1,800.
