Giving Tuesday 2025
All funds raised through Giving Tuesday this year will be dedicated to revegetating the West Trailhead on the High Trails. This trailhead used to be an old feedlot- we’ve moved 2500 cubic yards of manure, recontoured the valley, and put in parking & a few new trails. This trailhead provides access to the High Trails with a gentle grade that is also suitable for biking and horseback riding. Support us today!
Every $10 donated enters you into a drawing for great prizes including gear from Patagonia and Duckworth and Town & Country Gift Cards!

Members can be a part of our project committees, help with the data and communications, come to the monthly meetings or support by dues alone. Any way you look at it, a membership is a benefit to our mission. You can choose to give one time or monthly. I like to think of it like an outdoor monthly gym membership!

Studies show that walkability in a community is good for the local economy and local businesses.
