Franklin Trail Phase 3
Tax deductible
Thank you for supporting The Food Liaison’s Christmas in July, an event honoring the generosity of the late Michael Towbes.
Your specific interest in Franklin Trail Phase 3 carries on the belief that Mr. Towbes shared in the importance of preserving wildlife and exploring nature. Your donation will help to open up the back country even more to those who love the wilderness and amazing views of the valley.
The first two phases of the project are completed and open to the public.
All that remains is the most difficult portion of the trail. Trails Council is working with the Friends of Franklin Trail to fund Phase 3. This is the section of the trail that goes through the Los Padres National Forest. The steep and rugged terrain is an extremely difficult area to work. So far we have scouted and chainsawed a preliminary line that crosses a 2.7 mile section of the National Forest to meet up with the Franklin Trail on the North side of the mountains.
The next step is developing biological and archaeological documents to US Forest Service standards for an environmental review and trail planning. The last step is re-constructing the historic trail.
To date we have raised just over $80,000. We need $20,000 more to reach our $100,000 goal.
