Corral Canyon Trail Maintenance Cleanup

Recap of our 12.6.25 Corral Canyon Trail Maintenance Cleanup.
📣 Huge THANKS to everyone who took time out of their weekend to support our bi-annual cleanup at Corral Canyon. This is one of the largest gatherings we have seen in recent years. Preliminary numbers say we had over 100 volunteers. We will keep you updated when the final numbers come in and what your volunteer time equates to for the Cleveland Forest Service.
We hope you had a much fun as we did out on the trails. Thanks again for your help clearing the path so that we all can enjoy these awesome trails year-round.
𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐬 to the amazing team from San Diego Off Road Coalition – SDORC for serving up a fresh pancake breakfast with BACON (and lots of it) hash browns and rolls and a savory gravy! We sure are lucky to have such great friends and partners in this off-road community.
On behalf of TDS members and officers, thanks again for joining the effort to leave it better than we found it and come together for important causes in the off-road community.
𝔾𝕣𝕒𝕥𝕖𝕗𝕦𝕝 𝕡𝕠𝕤𝕥 to Vicki and Bo Neece for coordinating with our partners, set up/breakdown and gathering the raffle prizes to make this such a success. Your endless efforts have not gone unnoticed. We appreciate you more than we can ever express.
