Thank you to the folks who came out this morning to the MMP Volunteer Day, including Jean & Jim Dooley, and the Scouts and Dads from BSA Troop 731! We worked on smoothing out the new rolling dips designed to catch rainwater runoff and prevent erosion. This will keep the trail tread in place and protect wildlife habitat and water quality downstream. Next volunteer opportunity on MMP is Saturday, Jan 2, 2021 - come give us a hand!
