Grouse Fest is this weekend :). Please sign up and complete digital waiver for trail work crew and lunch head count.

Grousefest 2025 is September 12-14th! Full details and link to participate at bonc.org or https://waiver.smartwaiver.com/e/A3ESKa4UPZZWGZBWQTUKyW/

Join us for BONC's annual trailwork and camping weekend at Grouse Ridge. We'll be camping at Spaulding Lake again this year. It’s always a fun weekend with a little work and a lot of play in one of the most beautiful places on earth.

Campsites are secured for Friday and Saturday night at the PG&E Lake Spaulding Campground off Hwy 20. Sign up to secure a tasty sack lunch for trailwork day. And once again, BONC member and volunteer, Max, will be cookin' up his delicious pulled pork sandwiches to go with refreshing beverages for dinner Saturday night (vegan option available as well)! Sign the waiver to participate and to let us know your meal preferences.

We will carpool from the Spaulding Lake boat launch at 8 am on Saturday. We’ll update our website and social media if that plan changes. Vehicles with ground clearance will be needed and there will be a 1.5 mile hike to the trailwork site. BONC will provide tools, but feel free to bring your own if you have them: folding saws, loppers and garden rakes or McLeods.

Bring your bike if you want to ride Sunday and don’t forget your swimsuit and water toys for fun in the lake. Email [email protected] with any questions.
