The Ridge Trail turned 30, so get Dirty!
On Saturday, November 2, hundreds of volunteers will join the Bay Area Ridge Trail Council, REI Co-op, and our park and non-profit partners for the 12th annual Ridge Trail Day to celebrate and give back to the trail we love!
Volunteers will repair trail tread, build drainage features, remove litter, improve trailside habitats and give the Ridge Trail some TLC! After their hard work, volunteers will be able to socialize and have a chance to win great prizes from REI Co-op.
The locations, descriptions, and hours for each project are listed below to help you choose a site to attend. For volunteers under 18, please pay attention to the minimum age requirement. Specific meeting location will be emailed to you after registration.
