CANCELED due to the Weather: November 22 Trail Work; Photos from September’s work
CANCELED due to the weather: November 22 Trail Work. The following text is from the original announcement.
Join the COSCA rangers and other enthusiastic volunteers on November 22 to help fix up the Park View Trail above Dos Vientos Community Park! If you’re looking for for some ways to get exercise and expend some calories ahead of the holiday feasting season, this is your ticket. And get credit towards scoring a swanky TeamConejo volunteer T-shirt (details below).
The work will be adjacent to Dos Vientos Community Park, fixing ruts, restoring native vegetation and cutting back weeds. Monthly work days are organized by the Conejo Open Space Conservation Agency (COSCA), with support from COSF. The photo gallery here shows some of the work done during the September Trail Work Day on National Public Lands Day. Click on a photo to see it full-size.
Work starts on Saturday, November 22, at 8:30 am and goes until 11:00 am. Meet at Dos Vientos Community Park, 4801 Borchard Rd, Newbury Park, in the northwest corner of the parking lot, near the volleyball courts. You should arrive a few minutes early to take care of registration details.
In order to participate, you will need to sign up online. The work will be done under the guidance of COSCA rangers.
As always, prepare and dress appropriately for trail work.
- Wear solid boots with good lug soles to keep your grip on a possibly slippery trail. Absolutely no sandals or flip-flops!
- Bring lots of water! It can be hot and there may not be any shade
- Bring a hat, work gloves and sunglasses or other eye protection
- Long-sleeved shirts and long pants are strongly recommended
- Use sunblock on exposed skin
- Leave your 4-legged friends at home
No experience is necessary. COSCA rangers and other experienced trail crew leaders will provide hand tools and instruction on how to use them safely and effectively.

Finally, we have a new program of giving chic T-shirts to our frequent volunteers – those who come to three COSCA trail work events. Read our blog post for all the details.
