Co-hosted by the High Sierra Striders and Footloose Sports!

Project Description: Thanks to the committment of co-hosts Footloose Sports and the High Sierra Striders, approximately 20 trail-runners and -hikers spent their Saturday morning giving back to the land. Great work was done on the Duck Pass Trail and trailhead area, as well as the Hart Lake/Consolidated Mine zone. Volunteers were fueled by Footloose's generous donation of bagels, cream cheese, juice, and coffee and RE-fueled with a healthy buffet-style lunch.
