An Earth Day event on the Pacific Crest Trail began at 7:30 A.M. Saturday April 23 with a tailgate safety briefing at the entrance to Snow Creek Village. About a dozen people from the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, Pacific Crest Trail Association, and volunteers from the Desert Trails Coalition and Snow Creek Residents participated in maintenance on about a one-mile section of the PCT just outside the Village in the Santa Rosa & San Jacinto Mountains National Monument, by clearing brush overgrowth and tread work.
