Trail Work Days will resume in March/April
2010
Scheduled Work Days are usually set for Saturdays or Sundays.
Trail Work Crews Meet at Mt Mike’s Parking Lot at 9:00am on specified
workdays. Departure for the day's worksite is about 9:15am.
Please note that we do have some members who work on trails
during the week. Contact Claudia at (530) 637-1682, and she will put you in
contact with someone in that group.
Win Prizes for Trail Work!
 MVTA will be compiling names of those that show up
for trail workdays. The names will then be placed into a drawing to be held
each month at the General Meeting. The winner need not be present to win, but
it would be nice if they were!
All names not drawn that month will remain in the box for
the next drawing, so if you work another workday by the next meeting, your name
will be in there twice for the next drawing!
Workday Scheduling: Claudia Booth --
 Admin MVTrails.org, If you know of a local trail

Online Incident Report

Add Trailwork to your
2010 To-Do
List
Trails that are not maintained are
eventually closed and lost forever.
This New Years, why not resolve to
spend at least 4 hours helping to clear a trail in the coming year? Future
generations of trail users will thank you!

Trail Notes
Sugar Pine Trail
The Sugar Pine Staging Area, at Winchester Drive
and Placer Hills Rd., is located on property owned by the Christian Fellowship
Church nearby.
It is a great privilege that the community is allowed
to park there when using the Sugar Pine Trail. MVTA would like to thank
everyone for being responsible with their trash and respectful of the land.
MVTA includes the Staging Area on its trail maintenance
list and tries to keep the grass short, fallen tree debris cleared and
trash picked up. The church and MVTA are working together to erect proper
signage at the staging area. |
Esoteric Park Trail
While riding on the Esoteric Park Trails, please
remember to keep your badge either visible or in a location where you can
quickly display it at the request of the land stewards.
Don't have a badge yet? Members can obtain one,
along with gate keys, by contacting Claudia:
AdminMVTrails.org,
Using this land for trail riding or hiking is a huge
privilege for MVTA members. Remember, this is a non-motorized trail system:
Only bicycles, horses, and humans on foot are allowed. You may drive your
vehicle to the staging area within the property, but all motorized vehicles are
limited to the staging area. |
Hidden Falls Regional Park
Exciting news! The Environmental Impact Report and
Use Permit were both adopted by the Planning Commission, opening the way to
begin trail construction on the next phase of trail development.
MVTA is represented on the Hidden Falls Forum and
we will update our members as new developments surface.
The preliminary schedule includes...
- General flagging work starting February to April of
2010,
- Clearing by volunteers May to June 2010,
- Specific flagging Spring/Summer of 2010,
- Excavation late Summer 2010,
- Bridge and wall construction Fall/Winter of 2010, and
- Final touches early 2011.
If this schedule can be kept to -- and we know how
hard that is -- the new trails will be available sometime Mid/Late 2011.
