A section of the southern part of
Sawyer Camp Trail will be temporarily closed to thru trail travel on weekdays,
from mile 1-1/4 to mile marker 3-1/2 (the Jepson Laurel) on the following
dates:
Monday-Friday, June
13–July 1, 2016
The trail will be fully
open on weekends.
Large equipment will be in use on the trail to prepare the
area for habitat restoration, and it is not safe for trail users. The entire
trail will be open on weekends.
Although the trail is closed to thru traffic, it will be
open for the first approximately 1.25 miles from the South Gate at Crystal
Springs, and for approximately 2.5 miles from the North Gate at Hillcrest for
trail users.
Bicyclists wanting thru access should use alternative routes
during this period.
Future restoration activity will include the physical
removal of invasive vegetation and trees that have choked out the historic oak
woodland and grassland habitats that in turn harbor a variety of native plants,
butterflies, birds, and other wildlife species—some found nowhere else in
California. The removal work will affect the same segment of Sawyer Camp trail.
Future Schedule:
July 5 to July 29, weekday evening closures for off-hauling
of vegetation: 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.
Tentative: August – October 2016: Trail will be closed
weekdays to thru traffic for tree removal and off-hauling.
As part of the work, approximately 3 miles of trail will be restored and resurfaced, from the South Gate to the Jepson Laurel.
