NEWS RELEASE—REI TRAIL BUILDING <br /> Page 2 <br /> May 19, 2003 <br /> ILgrades with log curbs and spread gravel along the length of the path. Extra volunteers or <br /> those very sensitive to native poison oak, which is prevalent in the oak knoll area, can <br /> participate in habitat restoration by removing invasive, non native vegetation in nearby areas. <br /> "REI has a lot of experience with large volunteer projects of a sensitive environmental <br /> nature," says John Moriarty, the coordinator of the Forest Management Plan in the park. <br /> "Volunteer education will be an important component of this project as we attempt to forge a trail <br /> without damaging this unique native ecosystem." <br /> The project also includes the creation of interpretive signs to educate users about this <br /> endangered ecosystem and how to preserve it.
