We just brought on some new members to our saw tea We just brought on some new members to our saw team and had a couple more level up their saw certs. Our impact on the trails will be even bigger than before. The trail experience in the Angeles NF would be so poor without this program put on by the @u.s.forestservice. We would like to thank Greg and @serg_jt for sharing their many years of experience and understanding the value of the volunteer program. Learning how to operate a saw safely and efficiently is easily the most important part of what goes into maintaining trails here on the Forest.

The timing was perfect… After a long round of wi The timing was perfect… After a long round of winter storms and heavy damage, the @u.s.forestservice Angeles NF allowed us to return to our work within the Bobcat Closure just in time for our stewardship campout with @orogenesiscollective. We worked along the Orogenesis route on Gabrielino from West Fork Trail Camp to the Kenyon Devore junction and it’s l👀king great after this weekend! A lot of our work held up from last year but just needed a little dust off. Lots of downed oaks that didn’t stand a chance up against @tediseasy and his new 261. We patched gullies, cleaned up tread, scraped off slides, tackled brush, decapitated poodledog bush, soaked in the creek, and ate lots of tacos and pie! Sad to see Gabe go, but he’s off to work with other trail orgs and lay down roots for his Baja to Canada route concept. The Angeles NF just extended the Bobcat Closure another 30 days for the rest of May. We are hoping the area will open up soon!
