Trail Tales
- Bill Lincoln created an easily navigated path where a previously slippery and steep trailhead existed at Chah-GAH-Cho.
- The pre-Earth Day gathering at CGC brought out a group of community volunteers to clear overgrowth from the trails, pull out invasive vines, and maintain the meadows. Take a walk or jog at Chah-GAH-Cho to witness the improvements and enjoy the natural surroundings. Bring along your four-legged friends and take advantage of the doggie bag dispensers.
- Management of Scotch Broom continues to be among the priorities at Dow's Prairie Educational Wetland, with Nanette Durbin taking the lead. Earlier this spring, three board members joined her to cut back the invasive plant.
Soccer Stars!
The Cal Poly Humboldt Men's Soccer team showed up en masse on a rainy day to pull vines and repair stairs at Mad River Bluffs. Los Bagels generously provided bagels to help fuel the workforce. Cal Poly Humboldt athletics teams are competing for compiling the most volunteer hours and we're fortunate these athletes chose MLT as one of the organizations they're assisting. Thank you!
