As a part of our work to improve trails in the City and County of Riverside our group funded and completed a project in the Box Springs Park and Reserve in collaboration with Riverside County Regional Parks and the Riverside County Parks Foundation. In the vicinity of Two-Trees Trail: 1 graffiti was removed from very large boulders; 2 a segment of trail was improved and a bench with dedication plaque was installed on a scenic hilltop; and 3 a dedication plaque to those responsible for founding and improving the park was provided and inserted in a large boulder at the entrance to the trail. A grant of $6K was received from PVL funds at the Rivers & Lands Conservancy to fund the tools and materials provided for the project. Labor was accomplished by volunteers and park staff. Hundreds of visitors hike the trail each week weather is good.
