National Trails Day

National Trails Day promotes advocacy and trail service to provide a safe experience for tens of thousands of hikers, bikers, and outdoor enthusiasts. Organizations all over the nation will bring volunteers to work together to maintain, clean up, and revive public lands and trails. Build your local community and join the nationwide movement to give back to the trails and make sure everyone can enjoy the outdoors.

The Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area is hosting a National Trails Day event at Rancho Sierra Vista in Newbury Park from 8:30AM to 1:30PM. Join park partners and staff in maintaining trails, general groundskeeping, and working at the Native Plant Nursery.
