Important Dig Days Advisory:

Please visit our Dig Days webpage to learn more:
https://www.mountdiablotrailsalliance.org/dig-daysProtected species and plants have been observed at the originally-planned trail location, requiring evaluation of enhanced environmentally-sensitive preparations before any trail work can be conducted in the future.
That special environmental enhancement also impacted the April 12th Dig Day. As a result, the April 12th Dig Day now will focus on Buckeye Trail and the final 0.6 miles of tread not serviced by prior Dig Day projects.
