Trabuco Canyon has some trails that are getting overgrown and I was wondering where is the best way to organize some people to volunteer to clear the trails?

Write up a proposal and send it to park officials, get a meeting with them to discuss forming a volunteer group who actually knows how to do that sort of work.

Also, what the fuck is up with people using mattocks without goggles and face shield? Holy fuck.
in nawth carolina I live near an old overgrown 50 mile uwharrie trail, we have a group of people that volunteer to work on trails and do a thru hike once a year together

Well I'm not interested in talking to government employees. I may just do it by myself

You may need to get permission because what you want to do may be very illegal.

Or at least make the agency liable for a lawsuit if someone gets injured.

There are a couple volunteer organization that do that sort of work in that area. My aunt and his girlfriend are active in them but I don't know the specific details.

You don't need a goggles and face shield to use a mattock. Or a helmet. At least not if you're using them like the people in OP's pic.

I'm not concerned about breaking laws, there are no park rangers or cops because to get there you have to do some hardcore off roading, ive been riding my motorcycle there for a while and ive never seen a ranger

I bet you use a dental dam
Share MTB Club maintains the trails. See if they have a work day. A long as you are just cutting back branches and not touching roots you can clear stuff up.

Seriously, though. Why not just ask first? They might even have a program in place for it that just needs volunteers to implement it.
Most local parks offices are ecstatic when people want to help out.

You'd get fired from any job here if you did that. It is dangerous as fuck. Even just wearing shorts you get all manner of rock chips whacking them. There's tons of scratches from rocks and shit hitting it while using either side of the mattock. Mattocks are like designed to shoot shit right into your eyes or something. All it takes is to hit one fucking rock. You can go be blind macho men if you want.

Are we talking about the same canyon? Yeah the road can be rough at times but its not that bad.

You're like those dudes who wear long pants, long sleeves, gloves and a face shield when using a weedeater. Jesus Christ, toughen up and buy some sunglasses.
