Volunteers Needed for Bald Mountain Trail Construction

Volunteers are invited to come help the Bureau of Land Management build new recreational trails on Bald Mountain east of Janesville again this Saturday, November 12th. Volunteers began work last weekend on the trails which are planned for use by horseback riders, hikers and mountain bikers.

Anyone interested in helping should meet at 8:30a.m. at the junction of Lassen County Road A-3 and Sunnyside Road near Standish. The work is scheduled to run until 4:30p.m., but volunteers are also welcome to work only part of the day.

Volunteers should wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, sturdy work boots and gloves. They should bring lunch, snacks and plenty of water. The work will involve hiking, clearing rocks and digging narrow trails.

The volunteers will continue work that was started last month, when volunteers built a half-mile of trail in observance of National Public Lands Day. Crews from Antelope Conservation Camp have completed an additional mile of new trail.

The BLM hopes to complete another four-and-a-half miles this fall on the southwest side of Bald Mountain. The six miles of looped trails will offer new trail opportunities and great views across the south end of the Honey Lake Valley.

Once the first six miles are built and in use, the BLM will evaluate the success and determine whether additional trails should be constructed next year.

For more information, contact BLM Outdoor Recreation Planner Stan Bales at (530) 252-5311.
