Huddart Park Bridge Railings and Repair

CHAPS – Community Horse Advocacy Program for San Mateo County and the Mounted Patrol Foundation are requesting your support for Huddart Park Bridge Railings and Repair Crystal Springs Trail.

The Crystal Springs Trail crosses two little creeks, just above the hairpin turn on Richards Road. As you all recall a few years back, the equestrian community donated over $80,000 to improve 5.5 miles of All Weather Trails in Huddart Park. As part of this project, we replaced the first bridge, with very solid 6x6 railings and posts. The second bridge was in good shape, but did not have railings. A number of equestrians have asked about having railings installed on the second bridge. The County has estimated the material cost to be $2,000, and they could do the project this summer. We are reaching out to the equestrian community for donations to support this project. Please send checks to:
CHAPS/Mounted Patrol Foundation
521 Kings Mountain Road
Woodside, CA 94062

Please note on your check “Huddart/Wunderlich Trail Improvements”. Any additional funds raised will be used for future improvements to the trails in Huddart or Wunderlich. The Mounted Patrol Foundation is a 501(c) (3), and contributions may be tax deductible as charitable contributions.

Thanks for your continued support!

Volunteer opportunity!

Ranger Mark at Pescadero Creek Park (the location of Jack Brook Horse Camp) has been working hard at maintaining and repairing our beloved trails there. Ranger Mark is planning to work on trails on the second Saturday of every month, and he very much welcomes volunteer help! So rather than having to organize one big work day which will invariably not work for everyone, here is a wonderful monthly opportunity for all of us to help out. The second Sunday of the month is coming right up! Meet at Sam MacDonald Park in the Parking Lot at 9.30. Please send Mark an email at whiplash55@hotmail.com
