Friends of Boggs Mountain

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.

Thursday January 22 marked our annual Calpine trail work day. FOBM board members and somewhere north of thirty Calpine volunteers tackled the old Ball Cap trail. We split up into three teams, one working on a realignment around a huge root ball and tree on Hardtail trail that fell during one of the intense late December storms and the two other teams started from opposite ends of Ball Cap and worked toward the middle. Bushwacking through the brush and downed trees was challenging but the two teams came awfully close to meeting before breaking for pizza and dessert also provided by Calpine. Since the formation of FOBM Calpine has been a fantastic supporter in terms of both funding and the hard work in clearing and rebuilding trails. Many thanks to Calpine and all who took the day off from their regular jobs to join us in bringing back Ball Cap trail. Unfortunately I forgot my camera that day however if anyone that joined us that day took pictures, I would be happy to post them. ... See MoreSee Less

Thank you Middletown Composite Mountain Biking team! On Saturday morning January 10 the Middletown Composite Mountain Biking team gathered at Boggs and headed out to the trails. This time on foot carrying rakes and loppers rather than riding their bikes. The enthusiastic group cleared, cut back brush and raked trails while coaches and parents cut and removed deadfall on trails that fell during recent storms. Thanks to the energetic team most trails are ready for them and you all to hit the trails again! ... See MoreSee Less

Storm damage 12/28/25Recent severe storms have wreaked a little havoc on our trail system at Boggs. Many trails have trees and other debris on them. FOBM will be clearing the trails in the next several weeks but please be advised that, if you choose to come up, be prepared to do a little tree hopping. Moreover, particularly equestrians and mtn bikers as well, please avoid muddy sections of trail to avoid further damage. If you do come up and encounter trees blocking the trail we have a simple form you can fill out and submit to alert us to the location. The form can be found here. ... See MoreSee Less
