Santa Teresa Park Fortini Trail Workday

May 3, 2008

On May 3, 2008, a trail work day was held on the Fortini Trail. Previously in the week, the trail was widened by work crews and a bulldozer. On this work day, volunteers set out to cut brush from the uphill side of the trail and groom the trail.

This section of the trail was mostly grassy, so didn't need as much brush clearing. The work stopped at the fence
