"Weeds" that pop up on trails are though enough to handle traffic, and can be transplanted to fill bare patches where wood-chips have been lost. Many plants that we think of as weeds are lovely ground covers, wild flowers, and even fruit. By saving these plants we can use them to our advantage for erosion control, or as pollinator friendly borders. These volunteer plants are free and many of them will spread to cover bare areas of the garden so you never have to buy wood-chips again.
