Who We Are

Friends of Boggs Mountain (FOBM) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization formed to enhance the visitor’s experience in the forest through educational, interpretive, and recreational programs, help in development of facilities, and assist with maintenance and infrastructure improvements at Boggs Mountain Demonstration State Forest (BMDSF). The organization cooperates with BMDSF management and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) to meet those objectives.

With BMDSF oversight and approval, we are organizing work crews to help rebuild Boggs trails. Please support our efforts with a donation and/or join as a member to help us revitalize the forest for all visitors! Thank you in advance.

Game trail is next on our list and, thanks to Calfire, Chris Moe and FOBM volunteers, significant progress has already been made. For those who may be unfamiliar with Game, it is on the northeast side of the forest and can be accessed from the bottom of Jethro's trail. Next Saturday, November 16 we plan to assemble a crew to groom the trail. The work will be mostly shaping the trail with mcleods and rakes as well as loppers for cutting back brush encroaching on the trail. We will meet in the morning and work until around 12:00 noon. As always, lunch will be provided by FOBM however you must RSVP to [email protected] if you plan to join us.If unable to make it to our trail work day, it is a brilliant time to visit the forest whenever you feel the urge. The Oaks, Maple, Dogwood and poison oak are ablaze with bright fall colors and the little bit of precip we have received has settled the dust. So get out there and enjoy! ... See MoreSee Less

It’s great to have it back! ... See MoreSee Less
