This was the second invasive plant removal event on the Round Mountain Trail this year. We had 2 SMMTC and 6 student volunteers (3 Trail Corps members) for the project along with a guest instructor from the Sierra Club’s Santa Monica Mountains Task Force for this project. This event will complete our CSUCI events for this year. Met on Old Lewis Road near the CSUCI campus. Unloaded and staged the equipment/tools for the event. Student volunteers arrive, conducted introductions, safety and equipment briefing. Walk to the trailhead and begin removal of invasive plants by hand and bagging all vegetation. Students receive training on the 7 “Leave No Trace” principles of outdoor ethics. Resume removal of invasive plants from the top of the mountain and along the trail corridor back to the trailhead. The students worked rapidly and effectively. (No formal lunch break taken as agreed by all). Completed all tasks and walked back to the cars. End of day. Total volunteer hours: 8 volunteers x 5.5 hours = 44 hours
