We are always glad to have groups come out to the Park to volunteer on the Day of Caring, and we are equally glad to have individuals come out and join in!  Thanks to all of you for your hard work, your smiles, and your time on Saturday, Nov 18!  We need every single person, and we appreciate each one.

Special thanks to Vulcan Materials for their gravel donation to improve the drainage issues at the trailhead parking lot entrance. Board members Pat Breeding and Mary Steadman assisted with the partnership and volunteers Joe Davis, Don Barker, Dave Deroco and Richard Tyner  provided the equipment and tools and labor to spread the rock. We are grateful for everyone for their support on this project!

Volunteers replaced the small gravel at the entrance of the parking, with a combination of different sized and packed gravel to slow water coming down the hill. The new gravel combination will keep the trailhead parking lot from washing out.
