Events

Join Volunteers for Outdoor California, in partnership with the City of Walnut Creek Open Space Division, for trail improvement work and camaraderie at the Shell Ridge Open Space.  Volunteers may participate for a day or the weekend, with optional camping at the Hanna Grove Activity Area of Shell Ridge near Borges Ranch.  V-O-Cal provides all food for the weekend, tools, trained crew leaders and organization. On Saturday night there will be music and other entertainment.   Volunteers for Outdoor California is a respected, experienced volunteer organization which has completed dozens of large scale projects throughout the greater Bay Area from Sonoma to Big Sur, and from San Francisco to Brentwood.  This project occurs in oak woodlands and grassland savannah habitat. It primarily targets an eroded and deteriorated, heavily used feeder trail from Wiget Lane into the Upper and Lower Buck Trails, which will be redesigned to provide proper drainage and re-establish the trail surface for proper slope and improved alignment.  Additional details and registration are at www.v-o-cal.org.
