3rd Annual REI Ridge Trail Service Day | Bay Area

Submitted by the Event Organizer

You ever read about the adventures of Jack London or John Muir and other California trailblazers? Be part of the legacy by donating some time to help create or restore some of the Bay Area’s trails.

The Bay Area Ridge Trail Council, outdoor sports store REI and local park agencies will again team up for the 3rd Annual REI Ridge Trail Service Day. Each of the 10 Bay Area REI stores will partner with a local park agency, land trust or open space district to build, improve, or restore sections of the Ridge Trail.

WHAT TO DO: First, you must register in advance at the Ridge Trail website. No experience necessary; tools and supervision provided. Projects vary at each site. Go to the site to see what work is being down at the site near you.

FREE FOOD & DRINKS (at most sites): Morning refreshments provided by REI, Peets Coffee & Tea, and the Council. Chipotle Mexican Grill is donating lunch to most of the project sites.

With 13 different projects around the region, in all 9 Bay Area counties, there’s sure to be one near you, so pitch in, get dirty and help build the Ridge Trail!
