Your Help Is Needed on Trails
From The Mountain Press
SHAVER LAKE -- What
makes a person want to be a Volunteer? What is so special about the connection
with the volunteers and the project? Shaver Lake has the answer.
The Shaver Lake Volunteer Steering Committee
meets once a month at the Camp Edison office and is headed by Rich Bagley. An
exciting energy of ideas flow back and forth across the table. A special sense
of awe and amazement appears as Biologists Steve Byrd accounts stories of the
ecosystem and wildlife surrounding Shaver Lake.
In the past year, the number of individuals
committed to the Southern California Edison Company's (SCE) Adopt-A-Trail volunteer
program has increased significantly. SCE owns approximately 15,000 acres of
land in the Shaver lake area that is open and accessible to the public.
"They are great land stewards with good selective cutting practices and trail
maintenance programs," observes Greg Goodman, author of The Walkers Companion,
a local hiking book concerning the Shaver Lake and Huntington Lake regions.
These trails cannot exist without your help.
The volunteers are the keys to the trail success.
The primary objective of the Adopt-A-Trail
program is to maintain a series of trails that surround the perimeter of Shaver
Lake. "We currently have over half the trails adopted, and the program can always
use your support in forming new recruits," states Rich Bagley.
Eventually there will be 21 trails all
marked with easily identifiable trail signs. If you or your organization would
like to spend some time helping with construction of new trails, maintenance
of existing trails, or even sponsoring your own trail through our Adopt-A-Trail
program, please contact Greg or Andy Goodman at (559) 841-6281 for trail project
information. You need information on volunteering for other recreation, ecosystem,
or wildlife projects, please contact Rich Bagley or Steve Byrd at (559) 841-314.
