DAVIS, Calif. – Folks in the region may have walked, hiked or biked trails before without considering how the trails got there or what is necessary to maintain and restore them.

On Thursday, July 27, Tuleyome’s trail guru Erik “Bam Bam” Barnett, and Home Place Adventures program event coordinator, Nate Lillge will provide information on how trails are built, what makes for a “good” trail, and how Tuleyome works to maintain and restore trails in our region.

The presentation will include a brief history of trail building as well as discussions about some of the common tools used on trail projects.

The presentation is being provided as part of Tuleyome’s “Nature and You” lecture series and will take place at the Mary L. Stephens Davis Branch Library, 315 East 14th Street, Davis, from 6:30 to 8 p.m.

The lectures are free to the public.

Tuleyome, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit conservation organization based in Woodland, helps to maintain many miles of trails in the Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument region and is committed to helping the public enjoy their public lands while also working to protect and restore the natural landscape.
