Trail Enhancement Event- Lodi Valley Chapter
September 10, 2022 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Greetings volunteers!
After a very productive work day in August our next work day will be Saturday, September 10th, meeting at the west Gibraltar Rock parking area on Hwy V, starting at 9:00 am, to continue our multi-day effort to improve the trail from the kiosk up to the Horton vista. We plan to work until about noon, but come for as much or as little time as you can give. Watch for the yellow Ice Age Trail Event signs.
We have a number of tasks for the day. We are very close to finishing the re-location of the trail that will improve the hiker experience. There are also water diversions that need improvement and refreshing/repainting all the yellow blazes. Work will continue on building a set of stone steps to eliminate a steep and eroded section of trail. Which tasks we attack that day will depend on the number of volunteers taking part.
All the tools will be provided, just wear long pants and sleeves with sturdy shoes, bring some water, maybe a snack, work gloves (we’ll have extras to use), and your energetic attitude!

As a valued volunteer with the Ice Age Trail, we thank you. We want you to know of an important action you need to take to ensure that you have a completed Individual Volunteer Agreement established with the National Park Service for continuing your valued work on the Ice Age National Scenic Trail. The volunteer agreement guarantees that you have access to important safety information and work guidance. The volunteer agreement also extends the same protections to you for injury coverage that federal employees receive, should you become injured while performing approved volunteer activities.
