Quarry Park Trail Closures

Trails Closed for Vegetation Management

From Wednesday, May 1 through Friday, May 3, workers will follow up on a CalFire-funded project to reduce invasive eucalyptus and broom in Quarry Park. The work will involve targeted application of the herbicides triclopyr and aminopyralid directly to plants and stumps. This is a safe and effective means of controlling the target species and will contribute to the overall ecosystem health and reduce the risk of fast-spreading wildfire.

During the treatment, closures will be required on the following trails:

• Upper Middle Ridge Trail between Dolphine Trail and South Ridge Trail
• South Ridge Trail in vicinity of its intersection with Dolphine Trail
• The Vista Point/South Ridge connector trail
• An unnamed trail leading up to the South Ridge from Coronado Ave.

See closures marked on the map below.

Intermittent Trail Closures for Wildfire Fuel Management Work

On weekdays between April 22 and May 31, weather permitting, crews at Quarry Park will continue selective understory thinning of small diameter trees and shrubs along fire roads. Treatment goals include the removal of ladder fuels that could carry a ground fire into the canopy and the preservation of access routes to allow first responders to conduct fire suppression activities within the park. This work will involve targeted application of the herbicide triclopyr to the cut-stumps of Eucalyptus trees. Eucalyptus trees vigorously re-sprout and require additional treatment after being cut.

During the treatment, intermittent trail closures will take place on weekdays along Mirada East Fire Road and the Vista Point Trail.
