Having resource protection as a common goal, these groups, and many individuals, worked together to create a non-motorized trail system to allow the public to experience the unique beauty and quiet solitude of the Red Hills. Beginning at an improved parking area along Red Hills Road, 17.5 miles of non-motorized trails have been built by volunteer labor. Volunteers have installed trail markers throughout the trail system, transported materials and supplies with the help of a mule, built horse watering troughs, built public information kiosks in the parking area, installed picnic tables, and donated equipment use and time to improve the parking area surface and install culverts. In addition, dilapidated interior fencing has been removed and boundary fence has been built to protect adjacent private landowners from inadvertent public trespass. Other individuals and groups, such as People For Health Forests, have adopted the Red Hills for litter control.
Public participation is key to the preservation and protection of our public lands.
BLM encourages public participation. Volunteers can work alone or join organized work days to accomplish specific projects. BLM provides volunteers with uniform identification, certain work supplies and equipment, as well as a stipend to cover travel costs to and from the Red Hills.
