Volunteers are responsible for walking their assigned trail two times a month during spring, summer, and fall to pick up garbage, remove branches crossing the trail, level gopher mounds, fill gopher holes,and check signs for needed repair. Volunteers also check the trailhead parking areas for litter and vandalism. After each trail visit, the volunteer reports to refuge staff the status of the trail, the need for large tree removal, and any unusual situations.
