The trail at JD is now 9 miles. On average there are 5 volunteers
maintaining this trail on any given tail maintenance day. These
volunteers
put in 4-6 hours per week so that the trail is enjoyable for all. Funding
for trail building materials including pine bark, fencing, cypress
mulch,
rope, wood and hardware has come from these same 5 volunteers for the
last year. I estimate that this has cost more than $2000 to date.
The time has come for you to do your part to help the trail to grow
and improve. Here’s what you can do:
JOIN CLUB SCRUB: Your tax-deductible
membership fees/donations will help buy materials and keep the trail
growing. Member benefits include a quarterly e-mail newsletter, a Club
Scrub window decal and invitations to all club functions. $15.00 a year
for an individual membership is all it costs to support the trail. Family
and corporate donations are also encouraged.
VOLUNTEER: Check the homepage for
up to date information on an exact time for any particular
weekend to help with trail maintenance. Bring your tools and lots of water.
DONATE MATERIALS: A power bar costs
$1.69. A bag of cypress mulch is $1.50 and looks much better
on the trail.
GET OFF YOUR BIKE! - It takes less
than 5 minutes to kick a log back into place, remove fallen
brush or to kick mulch back onto the trail line. Your fitness
level won’t suffer and the next lap will be that much sweeter.

If you would like to volunteer your time to help build and
maintain trails at Camp Murphy, come to the trail head parking
lot on the next maintenance day. Ask for Bill or just ask "are you with Club Scrub?".
You must work a minimum of 4 hours per month on approved projects
to maintain your volunteer status. Registered volunteers will
be granted free access to the park during normal operating
hours. Come ready to cut trail! Bring tools if you have them:
saws, trimmers, loppers.
