Sonoma County California Coastal Trail Maintenance
Coastwalk is partnering with the Stewards of the Coast and Redwoods to work on maintenance projects along the California Coastal Trail within the Sonoma Coast State Beach jurisdiction.
The Stewards of the Coast and Redwoods coordinates and provides volunteer support for the Russian River District of the State Parks with over a dozen different programs, including Armstrong State Reserve and Sonoma Coast State Beach units of the district.
The Armstrong trail crew was established over ten years ago and meets at the Armstrong maintenance shop every second Wednesday of the month. The Sonoma Coast trail crew is a little over a year old and takes advantage of the experienced Armstrong crew members for the mentoring of new comers. State Park maintenance and trail personnel supervise work planning, ensure proper approvals/clearances are in place, and provide periodic training in trail building and maintenance techniques. The Sonoma Coast trail crew meets every fourth Wednesday of the month at various sites along the coast.
Any Coastwalk member interested in participating should contact Bill Bambrick: 707-573-9782 by the Monday before the work date to get information on when and where the trail crew will meet. A typical trail crew day starts at 9 am and finishes by no later than 3 pm. Volunteers should dress in layers and bring gloves, water, and lunch. Tools will be provided by the Stewards and State Parks.
In addition to the two set trail days, special work days can be arranged to support Coastwalk stewardship projects or events. The Stewards trail crew will provide experienced people to act as work group leads, coordinate with the appropriate State Park individuals, and provide the appropriate tools. At the start of any planning for such projects or events, contact Bill Bambrick.
