Trail Stewardship – Rock Work Skills on Old Emerald
A special opportunity for experienced Laguna Canyon Foundation volunteers: join us to gain new trail skills as we construct a rock-armored drain on Old Emerald Trail. Rock armoring is one of the best ways to address erosion on steep trails. This work requires patience and precision. If you have volunteered for trail stewardship with LCF 10 or more times, and want to add to your skill set, this event is for you. We will also be addressing tread issues and completing naturalization. There will be a 30-minute lunch break (lunch provided). We will be using tools such as loppers, picks, shovels, and McLeod’s to improve the user experience, protect the fragile habitat and increase the sustainability of our trails. Expect to hike up to 3 miles while carrying tools.
We have limited space for this event. Please only register for either April 19th or May 17th.
To register, please email Trails Project Manager Craig Dicht at craig@lagunacanyon.org. Registration will close on Monday, May 12th, 2025.

Difficulty Rating: 3/5
