Trailbuilding Projects
 

Tuleyome helps build trails in the Putah and Cache Creek watersheds.

We are currently working on two trail projects:

Yolo County's Otis Ranch Open Space trail

Blue Ridge Trail - Berryessa Peak public access  

Yolo County's Otis Ranch Open Space Trail

Yolo County's Otis Ranch has awaited trail construction for several years. We're working with Yolo County Parks to build the first trail onto the property, starting across Highway 16 from Camp Haswell County Park. Yolo County has completed the environmental work and planning, and the trail layout has been flagged. We're now ready to start building.

Work dates have been entered into the events calendar. Participants must fill out three different forms. The forms include Tuleyome's Participant waiver, Yolo County's Volunteer Form, and Yolo County's Participant waiver. Bring the forms with you to each event.

Blue Ridge Trail - Berryessa Peak public access

In September of 2008, a ranching family in Napa County donated a public trail easement to allow for access to the BLM Berryessa Peak public lands. This 9,100-acre tract of public land has historically been landlocked and inaccessible. Tuleyome's Ireland Ranch provides docent-led access from the south, and this easement will provide public access from the north. The easement is not yet open, as it will need to go through the planning and environmental process, and a management plan developed. After these are completed, trail construction can begin. We will post the trail building dates as they become available. It will take a volunteer effort to make this trail a reality.
