Project (click for directions): Hidden Villa - Los Altos Hills

Long Bunny Loop Trail

Activities: on the inaugural work day in our partnership with Hidden Villa's staff and volunteers, we will work to restore tread width on a portion of the Long Bunny Loop Trail near a fork of Adobe Creek. This will require removing slough and/or cutting the inside edge of the trail, installation or replacement of small retaining walls, and some gentle brushing (vegetation trimming).

In the event that significant rain is expected, the event will be postponed to a future work day. Volunteers should expect an email with such an announcement or can check the Trail Center website for updates.

Project: Coyote Point Recreation Area

Coyote Point Bay Trail

Activities: We will wrap up work on a reroute of a trail to make the "run-down-the-hill" use trail safer at San Mateo County's Coyote Point Recreation Area, behind CuriOdyssey. This work day will have a small volunteer limit, as we'll be focussed on constructing a retaining wall above a portion of the staircase we built in the summer of 2017. There may be some tread touch-up work as well.
