COSCA Volunteer Corps: Trail Work
The COSCA Volunteer Corps Trail Work program is coordinated by the Conejo Open Space Trails Advisory Committee, and it is supported financially by the Conejo Open Space Foundation as well as the Conejo Open Space Conservation Agency. Trail maintenance projects are usually joint projects with the
Santa Monica Mountains Trails Council
and/or the Concerned Off-Road Bicyclists
Association.

2008 Conejo Open Space Trail Work Day
The 18th annual Conejo Open Space Trail Work Day took place on October 18.
Over 180 volunteers turned out to make the event a great success. Groups from CLU, COSCA staff, scouts, Santa Monica Mountains Trails Council, Sierra Club, bike clubs, Newbury Park High School, equestrian groups, and many individual volunteers participated. The work accomplished included sections of trail realignments on Saddle Pass Trail (North Ranch near Bowfield Street) and on Potrero Ridge Trail (east of Via Las Brisas). Significant work was also accomplished at the Conejo Valley Botanic Gardens, and on Lindero Canyon Creek Trail. Following the trail work, participants were treated to a free lunch sponsored by Carlson Building Materials of Thousand Oaks. And, during lunch, drawings were held to give away a variety of prizes, including the grand prize: a brand new mountain bike.
