Congratulations to Sylas and Oliver!

We are excited to announce that our 2024 Volunteers of the Year are Sylas Kauffmann and Oliver Bullwinkle. They each volunteered 118 hours doing trail work across two week-long trips. The first trip was into the Siskiyou Wilderness where they worked on the Bigfoot Trail from Poker Flat toward Young’s Valley. Their second trip of the summer was to the Russian Wilderness where they worked on five miles of the Pacific Crest Trail — after our Marble Mountain trip was rerouted due to the Shelly Fire.

In this episode of the Bigfoot Trail Tales, proud dad Michael Kauffmann interview Sylas and Oliver about their adventures working and exploring along the Bigfoot Trail. They share tales of food, tools, and friends made along the way.
