Many thanks to the Redwood Trail Alliance for sponsoring the Boggs Mountain Rumble last weekend! A lively group of volunteers convened on Friday night camping under the stars. On Saturday morning the group split up into teams and headed out to the trails to clear brush, rake and cut back tree limbs encroaching on the trails. The volunteers were treated to pizza for lunch provided by Friends of Boggs Mountain. The rest of Saturday was spent riding and hiking the newly cleared trails followed by a barbecue on Saturday night. The Redwood Trail Alliance has been a significant stakeholder in Boggs and we are grateful for their continued support!

Karen Rhoads, virtuoso pianist and long time FOBM member, will be performing two more times this year at Mountain High Coffee in Cobb. The dates are Sunday Oct. 25 and Sunday Nov. 29 from 11 am until 1 pm. So consider joining us for a beverage and some great music. All tips will be donated to Friends of Boggs Mountain.

Redwood Trails Alliance is heading to Boggs Mountain Demonstration State Forest for the Boggs Mountain Ramble from October 16–18.

They’re taking over the group campsite for a full weekend of trail work, community updates, group rides, hikes, and a Saturday night BBQ. Friends of Boggs Mountain will be planning a trail work day on Saturday Oct. 17. Whether you join us for the full weekend of camping or just drop in for a day, we’d love to see you there.

Boggs Mountain Ramble

On Saturday under brilliant blue skies FOBM participated in the Cobb Mountain Blackberry Cobbler Festival. We sold T-shirts, maps, and other various merchandise to an enthusiastic crowd while sharing our mission to rebuild the trails at Boggs Mountain Demonstration State Forest. We also displayed pictures and examples of trees found in the forest and invited participants to guess which of the trees they may have in their own backyards. Thank you to all our members and friends who came by to say hello and all our Board members who participated.

Please join us on Saturday, August 29 at the Cobb Mountain Blackberry Cobbler Festival. The annual event is a highlight of the year here on the mountain. We will be at booth #62 with FOBM T-shirts, water bottles and a variety of other merchandise to sell as well as a raffle for merchandise or gift cards from local retailers. Do you know what trees are growing in YOUR backyard? Check out our colorful and informational display of conifer trees, their cones and needles.
The event runs from 10:00 am until 6:00 pm at Cobb Creekside Meadow, 16541 Golf Road in Cobb. All proceeds go toward bringing back our trails at Boggs Mountain Demonstration State Forest.
