July 25 | 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
Corner of Highway 1 and Fern Creek Road
MLT is thrilled to announce that we have completed the public access easement for the Caspar Pond trail in Caspar. While this trail has been an informal community trail, the formalizing of a public access easement means that the trail around Caspar Pond will remain open to walkers and bird-watchers in perpetuity. MLT will maintain the trail to ensure it stays in good condition. Located just off Hwy 1 at Fern Creek Road between Mendocino Village and Fort Bragg, the trail is easy to find for residents and visitors. Join us as we celebrate the trail opening with a group walk and a bit of bird watching!
