Happy Friday! 😊

So many good things happening with our member organizations that we have another shout-out this week going to @santacruztrails!

Santa Cruz Trails are a nonprofit that builds and maintains great trails for everyone, and connects communities to nature through responsible outdoor recreation. Their big project is still the Cotoni-Coast Dairies trail system.

They also hosted a Dig Day earlier this month where they had 50 volunteers come out to support trail building efforts!👍

And lastly, their biggest donate-to-win giveaway is underway with @santacruzbicycles and @Julianabicycles...yes, they'll be 2 bikes and 2 bike winners! This giveaway ends on Weds, Oct 3rd at midnight!🚴

SB668 Approved!!✅

This is great news as Senate Bill 668 (Dodd), extends the ability of the @CAStateParks (i.e. Dept. of Parks & Recreation) to enter into agreements with nonprofits for the purpose of operating and maintaining park facilities, improving parks, and reducing their overhead.

If you haven't done so yet, click our link in bio to send Gov. Newsom a thank you note for approving this critical piece of legislation!

Member Organization Spotlight of the Week is @motherlodetrails, who just signed a Volunteer Service Agreement with the El Dorado National Forest! And they had their second volunteer trail maintenance day this past Saturday out at Fleming Meadows aka Trail 8. ⛏️

This has been something Mother Lode has been working for since early 2020 and we are so excited to see it happening. If you hike, run, ride horses or mountain bikes on this beautiful trail we hope you can join them in getting this trail back in the condition it once was prior to the Caldor Fire.

A HUGE Congrats to @truckeedirtunion as they just inked their first volunteer service agreement with @castateparks last month to adopt and maintain the infamous JP's Trail and the lowest section of the Yogi Bear Trail. 🙌

This effort has come to fruition after a year of discussions with #CAMTB and @truckeedonnerlandtrust.
