Love hiking? Ready for physical challenge? Join the OC Platoon for fun day of hard work mainting the trails at Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park in Laguna. Be prepared to hike up to 4 miles while carrying tools. For logistical purposes, the number of participants is limited so please make sure everyone in your party registers individually. Our host will provide transport from the parking area to the work site, so space is limited. If after you reserve your spot, you realize you cannot attend, please cancel your reservation via email to kpugh@missioncontinues.org so that the reservation will be available for another volunteer. If you use the wilderness parks for hiking, biking, photography or just relaxing, Trail Stewardship might be right up your alley! This is FUN hard work. Whatever your skill level is, there is a job to do: clearing drains to get the water off of the trail, pruning vegetation back to keep users on the trail, moving dirt to rebuild eroded tread, and restoring impacted areas are just some of the tasks we will accomplish. We will be using tools such as loppers, picks, shovels, and McLeods to improve the user experience, protect the fragile habitat and increase the sustainability of our trails. Minimum age of 16 years old accompanied by a parent/guardian. Participants must bring plenty of WATER, closed-toed hiking shoes, and sun protection and gloves if you have them. Location: Hollyleaf cul-de-sac, Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park. (Where West Ridge Trail meets Hollyleaf, near 65 Hollyleaf, Aliso Viejo, CA 92656) Parking: Free street parking. Follow all street signs and park legally. Parking is limited, carpooling is encouraged. Difficulty Rating: 3/5 Advanced registration required. Every individual, including children, must be registered. Group sizes are minimized for safety purposes. Participants must individually sign a waiver at the beginning of the program.
