University Hiking Trail

The Santa Monica Mountains Trails Council is a volunteer nonprofit organization committed to establishing, preserving, and maintaining the public trail system throughout the Santa Monica Mountains and surrounding areas. Through education, advocacy, and partnerships with public and private sectors, the council actively works to ensure the trails remain accessible and safe for all users. With a mission to protect these natural pathways, the council engages volunteers in various activities such as cutting back overgrown brush, cleaning, installing drains, and repairing erosion damage. They recognize that trails require constant attention to withstand the forces of nature, including rain, gravity, and fire, which can quickly lead to neglect and deterioration.
