- Document Description
- Replace a remnant section of Grizzly Gulch Trail in Henry W. Coe State Park to create a more sustainable alignment with a gradual slope that will allow for better drainage and a more enjoyable experience for visitors. Additional work will restore the old trail alignment after the new route is completed. To establish the new alignment and then remove the remnant alignment work will: • Remove up to twenty (20) medium sized trees: (15) coast live oaks, (3) blue oaks, and (2) bay laurel trees); • Use a bulldozer to establish the new 4' by 7,840' trail alignment with switchbacks, armored crossings, and climbing turns built to Department Trail Standards; • Use a bulldozer to decompact the soil and berms of the remnant alignment; • Use small mechanical trail equipment as needed to move soils and/or other materials; and • Plant 1 ODs of native trees, shrubs, and grasses in the area of the removed trail alignment. No materials will be brought in or leave the project areas and the project will have no net loss in habitat after completion of both stages.
