LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Highland Springs Trails Volunteers will host a trail work day on Saturday, Oct. 22, at 9 a.m., with a catered lunch to follow for all volunteers.
Highland Springs Recreation Area is an extremely rugged and diverse 3,200-acre property including a variety of different watersheds, ecosystems and habitats.
Historically, trails developed by hunters on horseback have existed for more than 50 or more years. They consist mainly of narrow, single-track trails that often traverse very steep terrain.
Highland Springs Trails Volunteers have maintained these trails for 10 years and have recovered approximately 22 miles of overgrown trails.
Although Spring brings a wonderful variety of wildflowers at Highland Springs, with fall they get that crisp, cool air, often without rain, along with some very rich autumn colors as well as incredible scenery.
This past summer, to beat the heat, the volunteers tallied up 195 hours of volunteer work at their weekly Trail Work and Happy Hour every Wednesday evening. They had their first annual Golden Lopper Awards this past Spring celebrating all volunteers with a total of more than 1,200 hours of trail work time for 2010.
Volunteers are welcome in any capacity including people with chainsaws, loppers, handsaws, pickaxes and McClouds.
The most important job is getting the cut debris off of the trail, so anyone can help, with or without tools.
Volunteers will meet on Oct. 22 at the Highland Springs dam parking area, on foot or on horseback. Everyone brings and hauls in their own tools. Wear appropriate clothing and bring work gloves.
