Aliso Woods Trail Day with Laguna Canyon Foundation

The Shimano Team partnered up once again with the Laguna Canyon Foundation to work on habitat restoration in Aliso Woods. With the two teams combined, the designated trail had 5 drains cleaned/reworked, 30 dirt bags filled and utilized for trail improvement, 1 new in sloped turn built, 300 square feet rammed earth to form a retaining wall, 500 square feet de-compacted, pot holed seeded, naturalized and brushed, and four temporary “restoration” signs installed.
