THANK YOU TO THE SIERRA MADRE TRAIL RECONSTRUCTION CREW VOLUNTEERS for their tremendous work, effort, and accomplishment in making the repairs necessary to enable the Mount Wilson Trail to be re-opened to the public within a year of the Eaton Fire such that the MWTR was able to return last Memorial Day weekend after a two-year hiatus. The Trail Reconstruction Crew Volunteers are continuing their work and preparing for any potential damage that will result from the upcoming winter Super El Nino storms you have heard about in the news.
DONATE TO FLETCHER TRAIL MAINTENANCE FUND
HELP REPAIR AND MAINTAIN SIERRA MADRE’S TRAILS
Please join us in donating to the “Fletcher Trail Maintenance Fund,” which supports our Trail Reconstruction/Maintenance Crew volunteers with the necessary equipment, materials and supplies to continue their work on the repair and restoration of both the Mount Wilson Trail and Bailey Canyon Trail. The Eaton Fire damage and repeated subsequent atmospheric river rains requires that to secure, re-engineer, and replace sections of both trails will require additional equipment, materials, supplies, and tools, well beyond what has been needed in the past. Your donation of any amount is greatly appreciated and will make a real difference in enabling these historic community trails to be deemed safe for public access and open for the enjoyment of our community of runners, hikers, adults, families, children, and those seeking the tranquility and joy of being in our local Angeles National Forest.
Making a tax-deductible donation to the “Fletcher Trail Maintenance Fund” can be done by using the PayPal QR code below or by sending a check payable to the “Fletcher Fund c/o SMCF.” The mailing address is P.O.

All labor on Mount Wilson Trail and Bailey Canyon Trail is done by community volunteers, who work tirelessly and continuously to repair and maintain the trails to keep them open and safe for public use. The necessary equipment, supplies and tools used by the volunteers are paid for with tax-deductible community donations to the “Fletcher Trail Maintenance Fund,” as neither the City of Sierra Madre nor the U.S. Forest Service provides any funds for supplies or labor. Without the work of the Volunteer Trail Maintenance Crew, Sierra Madre’s trails would become impassable and closed to the public.
Thank you for your support of the protection of these important and valuable community resources. Your donation allows work on the Mount Wilson Trail to continue to ensure that the Mount Wilson Trail remains open and safe for public use for years to come.
