Bommer Pass Trail was closed to allow for restoration of the adjacent habitat. Shortcuts were created between trails, and the Bommer Pass Trail was closed to allow existing plants to naturally fill in unauthorized trails. The recent rains have helped that process, and also made the soil ready for new plantings. Volunteers will plant shrubs and cacti with the help of Conservancy Field Operations staff. All training and tools will be provided.
The volunteer activity is free and no prior experience is needed. Participants will need to wear sturdy shoes or boots and wear pants and long sleeves. All the necessary tools, water and snacks will be provided by the Conservancy. Those interested in volunteering are required to pre-register online to allow staff to plan for the adequate amount of tools and supplies needed. For this activity, participants need to be aged 15 and over – minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
