I like to breathe fresh air and like nature. This work gets you stronger.
Very interested in preserving the environment [and trails]. I am a repeat Dig Day volunteer.
Use these trails with my dad. Nice to see opportunities to maintain the area.
Spend so much time on the trails … it makes sense to give back a little bit of time … it is really important.
I am here because … my contribution to my community needs to be here now. I love the trails and I use them.
I want to get a third hike on this year … and want see how these people are working.
Want to give back … feel it is necessary to keep these trails in good condition … great to help.
It is easy to check out … so being engaged and involved with your community is so important.
I have been hiking in recent years … and really gotten into it. Spend a lot of time at Mount Diablo … want to give back.
It is magical on these trails … years ago, thought how did they get here … now, here I am helping build these trails.
I am here because it is fun … it is doubly fun because feel like doing something worthwhile.
My school is doing community service … I want to help the outdoors and the trails.
I am an avid trail runner … want to give back to the areas that I run in.
It is important to get it setup for the next generation … we’re just grateful for the opportunity.
To give back … make trails safer … encourage people to spend time in the outdoors not staring at screens.
Love the outdoors. I am a mountain biker … want to make sure no one gets hurt … when riding or hiking.
Give back to the trails ... make them more fun and more accessible for everybody … is something I believe in.
Mount Diablo has been a really special place for a long time for me and my family … it is nice to give back.
Lucky to live where we live … a lot of trails can’t be explored on a bike … want kids to be able to appreciate the trails.
Make these trails better for everyone. Got to make new friends. Spent a lot of time on this mountain, so don’t mind giving back.
Here for the community. Love learning about the park and the other volunteers. Opportunity to give back. We use the park often. Make the State Park a nice place for everyone.
I am here to give back. Want to make sure everyone can enjoy them no matter the user group.
It takes maintenance … and dedication to keep trails accessible for everyone. Great to be out here with so many volunteers. We all use these trails. It is about Community and Connection.
Love to take care of the park. Taking the responsibility for the park you hike, bike, or ride your horse in is huge. This is everyone’s park.
Been coming to this park for 25 years … Found out that most trail work is done by Volunteers … Decided to be part of the solution. That’s WHY I am here.
Trail advocacy is really important. It really is a cooperative relationship with park agencies and trail users. It is a special gift to be a part of this event … one of my favorite trails.
It is a space that matters to me. When you spend a lot of time in areas as pretty as this … Start to get a sense of responsibility. That’s WHY.
I am here because … this is a shining example of what a shared stewardship model looks like. We love and want to see this replicated elsewhere in the State.
