SATURDAY — Chris McCabe and Santa Cruz Mountains Trail Stewardship (SCMTS) are teaming up again to host a mountain bike ride up into the redwoods of Pogonip and down across the coastal prairies of Wilder Ranch State Park. We’re aiming to raise $30,000 for local trails with this event–help us reach our goal!

When you sign up for this event you’re supporting:

• Ongoing trail maintenance: Santa Cruz Mountains Trail Stewardship hosts trail building and maintenance events every single week across local open spaces. These events keep our local trails safe and in great shape.

• A new pump track in Felton: SCMTS is in the home stretch of fundraising for a new pump track (urban bike-friendly track with banks, rollers, and jumps) in Felton’s Covered Bridge County Park. This track will be the first of its kind in the San Lorenzo Valley, and bring safe, fun outdoor resources to families and kids throughout the area.

• Even more trails at Cotoni-Coast Dairies: SCMTS will build 10 more miles of multi-use trail at a southern trail head. Trails will serve all skill levels and abilities, including essential wheelchair access along the coastal prairies of Santa Cruz’s North Coast.

Your support, tripled... Every $1 you donate to stewardship yields $3.5 of volunteer labor value so we can keep trails open, safe, and fun for everyone.

Organization details + corporate matching:

• SCMTS is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Our EIN is 77-0457425, and we are eligible for corporate matching of all kinds.
