The team started service projects in Salt Lake City, Utah before coming to work in California. 2016 project locations included: -Homestake Trail in Redding -Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument -Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge -Bizz Johnson Trail in Susanville -Fort Ord National Monument -South Fork of the American River trails -Bodie Foothills, Alabama Hills and Volcanic Tablelands in Bishop "Although the team is full of experienced trail workers, backpacking with all of their tools, clothes, personal protective equipment, food, water and shelter for multiple days was something new to more than half of the team. The challenges that came with environmental work did not dissuade the members of Green 1 that they wanted to perform these projects."
