Una empresa local diseña y construye dos nuevos puentes 

The pandemic has forced many All Hands Ecology programs to ‘go virtual’ over the past year, but preserve stewardship is an in-person and on-the-land endeavor.

Understanding the need for ongoing boots-on-the-ground support and with a generous spirit, Justin Dierkhising, owner of Justin Dierkhising Construction Management Services of Petaluma and an All Hands Ecology Business Partner, saw an opportunity.

In partnership with Martin Griffin Preserve staff and with a team of hardworking volunteers, Justin envisioned, designed and built two new trail bridges that cross creeks on All Hands Ecology’s Martin Griffin Preserve.  The existing bridges were old and no longer safe for the many hikers, volunteers and school groups that use the structures on a trail called the Zumie Loop, which winds through a tranquil redwood forest.

Generosamente, Justin sufragó todos los costes, donó su tiempo de diseño y construcción, trabajó con un ingeniero gratuito que garantizó la seguridad de los puentes e incluso pidió prestado un quad a un amigo propietario del rancho.
