...We need at least 10 more bodies to make our kick-off work day for the Annadel Trail Repair Project on Saturday, June 18th contact Greg if you can help!  (707) 291-2967 or greg.fogg@comcast.net

Be a Part of our work day for Annadel Trail Repair kick-off this Saturday June 18th!   

…We’ve partnered with the Sonoma County Trails Council (SCTC) http://www.sonomacountytrailscouncil.org/ and this is the first of many future work days planned!     There will be several work days planned this Summer (see below), then every 2nd Sunday of the Month year around rotating with 8 local high school Cross Country teams; we’re going to take-on the entire Canyon-Spring Creek loop trail (~3.75 miles)!    ...Details for this Saturday, June 18th:

LINK TO JUNE 18, 2016 WORKDAY FLYER (OK to pass along to others interested)

WHEN?  -Meet us at 9am at the Oak Knolls picnic area at Spring Lake Regional Park (where the horse trailers park, near the gate to Annadel), enter from Newanga Ave. look for the white SCTC tool trailer, should be done by 12:30 or 1:00PM.   Parking is free for trail workers.

WHAT TO BRING?  Gloves, a hat and water that you can take with you while working, and wear long sleeves, long pants, boots or sturdy shoes and sunscreen.  We are in need of ~12 more round spade shovels, so if you have one, bring it!    If you are a minor, you’ll need a SCTC release of liability form signed by your parents LINK (Greg will also have these forms at the work site on Saturday).   

WHAT IS EXPECTED OF ME? No experience necessary, we have tools and trained crew leaders with tasks for all strengths and sizes of volunteers!    If you’re not fired-up about digging in the dirt, we are also looking for volunteers to help in the marketing/promoting of this program and photographers/video to help document our activities.

OK, SOUNDS GREAT, HOW DO I SIGN UP?   We are limited to the first 24 that sign-up for the June 18th work day; sign-ups coordinated through Greg Fogg.   If interested, call/text (707) 291-2967 or e-mail greg.fogg@comcast.net

BUMMER!    …I CAN’T MAKE JUNE 18TH, BUT WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SIGN-UP FOR FUTURE DATES!  We are trying to establish a “Crew Lead” for each High School Cross Country team, Maria Carrillo is one of 8 teams to share work days, so we only have to organize 2-4 workdays out of the year and help out with mixed school work days during the Summer and Winter.   Greg is the Crew Lead for our team, so please contact him if any of these Summer days work for you and you would like to be a part of this effort!    ..Here are the Summer dates we are targeting for work days:

June: 29th
July: 9th, 19th, 21st, 28th, 29th, 30th, 31st
August: 4th, 11th, 12th

...From there, there will be work days assigned to each of the 8 schools on 2nd Sunday of each month and we'll keep it going year round, starting August 14th!

KEEP RUNNING, GO PUMAS!!!
