Meet us at 9am at the bottom of North Burma Trail at Channel Drive. Look for the white SCTC tool trailer. We will have parking passes for those that drive and there should be adequate parking in that general area. Wear boots or sturdy shoes, bring water that you can take with you while working, and gloves.
In order to make sure we have enough tools and snacks please contact us if you plan to attend.
We look forward to seeing you all and having fun taking care of our wonderful park.

We had a great day at Annadel on Nov. 5 as over 45 volunteers pounded, bolted, wrestled and dug the new puncheon on Ridge Trail into being. With Bay Area Ridge Trail Council and REI sponsorship; major funding from the 2011 Annadel Half Marathon; air support from the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office; logistical, transportation and construction from the North Bay Unit of the California Backcountry Horsemen volunteer recruitment and leadership from the SCTC; and of course, the enthusiastic cooperation of State Parks, the project was truly a combined effort — we completed the puncheon and minor reroute in an amazing 5 months from proposal to final workday. We owe our success to great planning and coordination by Ken Wells and Tim Mayer from the Trails Council and Dan Horn from the Backcountry Horsemen, hard work from a lot of dedicated volunteers — and a good deal of luck with the weather! Thank you everyone who contributed!
