May 23-25th, 2026
This is an invitation to join us—tools in hand, boots on the tread—to care for pathways that have carried stories long before us.
We’ll basecamp near Orleans, California in the heart of the Marble Mountains, focusing our efforts on:
- Haypress Meadow Trail
- Let’er Buck Trail
Camp will be established at the Stanshaw Trailhead.
🛠️ What to Expect
This is a hands-on trail stewardship experience—part learning, part labor, part community.
- Clear and restore trail corridors
- Learn trail maintenance techniques

- Build connections with others who care deeply about these landscapes
Whether you’re new to trail work or building experience, this is a chance to deepen your skills and your relationship with the land.
