We are striving to create a world where human-powered outdoor sport is accessible, sustainable, and meaningful in all communities, allowing people to connect to themselves, each other, and the natural world. To achieve this, we are focused on:

 
 
 
 

Sustainable Trails

Through planning, design, and guidance we help communities realize their visions for successful, purpose-built recreational infrastructure.

Workforce Leadership

We provide training and support to emerging and existing leaders including students, educators, volunteers, land managers, civic decision makers, and outdoor professionals.

Community Activation

We foster ongoing community collaboration and partnerships that turn vision into action, expanding outdoor opportunities for all ages and abilities.
