Volunteer Trail Workday – September 19th – Joint Program with VoCal
Sat19Sep

Volunteer Trail Workday – September 19th – Joint Program with VoCal

Hike & Walk

The September 19th monthly trail workday will be a joint effort with another volunteer trail organization called Volunteers for Outdoor California or VoCal. The VoCal organization conducts weekend long trail maintenance and construction projects for public agencies throughout California. This month VoCal will be bringing their army of volunteers to the Arnold Rim Trail to assist our local ARTA volunteers with trail maintenance in the Sunset loop area of the Arnold Rim Trail system. VoCal events are social in nature and include two nights of camping, food, and fun working with other like-minded members of the trail community who enjoy giving back to the trail systems that provide them with so many trail recreation adventures. The program starts with volunteers arriving on Friday evening then a full day of trail work on Saturday and a half-day of work on Sunday before everyone breaks camp and heads home. Meals on Saturday and Sunday morning are included. I have had the pleasure of working with VoCal in the past and can attest that they are a fun event, and they provide a great service to the public agencies they partner with. So for all of you local ARTA trail volunteers you have two options for the workday on Saturday September 19th: Come for the normal 2-to-3-hour work program that ARTA usually conducts or Participate in the full day VoCal effort and join them for the food and social activities on Saturday evening. If you choose option 1 we will meet at the Sunset Loop (Couger Rock on some maps) trailhead off of Valley View drive at 8:30 am to conduct our normal safety briefing and project overview. (Do not go to the Forest Service offices in Hatheway Pines). You work your 2 to 3 hours and then head home. If you choose option 2 and want to join VoCal for the longer day, food, and social activities, you will need to register through VoCal via their website (Click Here to View the VoCal flyer). You don’t have to camp with the VoCal crew to join in the fun unless you want to of course! QUICK LINKS FOR VoCal Participation: Website Registration Event Flyer (PDF) Fact Sheet (PDF) Ok so let’s go over some basics for the 9/19 trail workday: You must wear long pants, long sleeves, sturdy shoes , and work gloves. It will be warm, so please bring plenty of water, sunscreen, and a hat. Eye protection is always a good idea If you have not recently filled out the Forest Service Volunteer Service Agreement form you will need to fill one out on-site on Saturday. We are meeting at the Sunset Loop / Cougar Rock Trailhead: here is a link to the map. DO NOT go to the Forest Service offices in Hatheway Pines as no one will be there. As always, thank you for your time and energy and hope to see you on Saturday 9/19!

Greg Sutton is a Northern California singer-songwriter whose music blends rock, blues, and Americana with soulful guitar work and heartfelt storytelling. With a catalog of original songs and recordings, Greg's music reflects a lifetime of inspiration, creativity, and a passion for crafting memorable melodies. His original song "Rain Across the Desert" was released as a single by European music publisher PA74 and is available on Spotify and other major streaming platforms. These days, Greg is enjoying making music with friends and fellow local musicians Ron Schaner, Steve Hayward, Bruce Cavestri, and Don Bott. Together, they bring decades of musical experience to the stage, playing an eclectic mix of classic favorites, blues, rock, folk-influenced Americana, and original songs. More than anything, they're a group of friends who simply love playing music together—and that joy comes through in every performance. https://www.gregorysuttonmusic.com/ Opening the show will be Emily Buss, who brings a little bit of everything to the stage, playing everything under the sun—from Top 40 favorites and acoustic country to classic rock hits. With a wide-ranging mix of familiar songs, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. * Please note: This concert begins at 6:00 PM, one hour earlier than our usual start time & the Brice Station Tasting Room will close at 4 pm to open the bar for the concert
