Rubio Canyon Preserve Habitat Restoration & Trail Maintenance

Join AFC and the Friends of Rubio Canyon at the Rubio Canyon Preserve in Altadena!

Help maintain the trails at Rubio Canyon to preserve public access, restore impacted areas, and care for this unique and ecologically important landscape.

Please bring water, sunscreen, and work gloves. We recommend wearing pants, long sleeves, and sturdy shoes. If available, feel free to bring any of the following tools: McLeod, shovel, bow rake, pick mattock, folding saw, and loppers. Other tools and equipment will be available.⁠

Volunteers meet at Rubio Canyon Trailhead at the corner of Pleasantridge Drive and Rubio Vista Road. Street parking is available. Please plan to arrive on time, as the crew will depart shortly after the scheduled start time and may be difficult to locate once on the trail. Cell phone service in the area is limited.

Trail maintenance is led by Sean Green. If you have any questions, please email our Program Director, Kyle Cavazos, at kylecavazos@arroyosfoothills.org

Registration is required for this event – please sign up below.

Please note: Rubio Canyon remains closed to the public and is only accessible through this volunteer event.
