1. FOREST STATUS UPDATE

From the Debra Clark Wilderness and Trails Volunteer Coordinator for the Trabuco District: 

The Trabuco Ranger District will be reopening on Friday, September 14. Campgrounds and trails outside the burned area will reopen.  Crews are completing the suppression of hot spots and repairing damage caused by firefighting efforts and expect to finish on Thursday.
 
District Management will determine our next steps and identify needs that volunteers can assist with. I will be sending out requests once that occurs. No one is allowed in the burned area without specific written permission to be in there. The closure extends from Santiago Peak, south to the North Main Divide Road/Long Canyon Road intersection.  The closure would include all of the roads and trails within this area, including Coldwater Trail, Holy Jim Trail, Trabuco Trail, East and West Horsethief Trails, Los Pinos Trail, Trabuco Creek Road, Indian Truck Trail, and portions of North Main Divide Road.
 
Thank you for your patience.

Debra Clark
Wilderness and Trails Volunteer Coordinator for the Trabuco District
