Trail Stewardship

Trails…The Arteries of Cycling!


Support Our Trail Stewardship



Scotts Flat Trail Project (formerly Scotts Drop)


We are excited to be participating in a multi organization alliance to reroute the old Scotts Drop Trail from the Pioneer Trail to Scotts Flat Reservoir. It will be a 4+ mile multi-use (human powered) trail. Construction has begun!


Utilizing donated time, labor, and equipment from the community, we have an attainable budget of $15k – versus $75k had we contracted it out. But we still need your help! Please consider donating both your money and your time. This will be a phenomenal trail descending from Harmony Ridge into the Deer Creek drainage and Scotts Flat Reservoir that continues to extend our local trail system. If you would like to volunteer your time and join the email list, send an email to this address: scottsdropalignment-subscribe@yahoogroups.com. If you would like to make a financial donation – one that will see 100% of your funds be used in construction as well as being tax deductible – you can do so securely here:

Loma Rica Ranch Trails


We are very fortunate to have a beautiful historic ranch located near the heart of town called Loma Rica Ranch. What’s more, the owners of Loma Rica have allowed us to partner with them to create a sustainable trail system for select days of use by school programs throughout the year. It is on private land and only usable with permission.

 

LRR Trail System

 

YBONC has partnered with the Nevada County Land Trust and Forest Trails Alliance (FTA) (http://foresttrailsalliance NULL.org/) for the design and build phase. Working with these two groups, YBONC organizes trail work days with the local schools to allow the youth the chance to learn about trail design, creation, and maintenance. Since trails are essential for a healthy community, we wish to help create a generation of trail advocates.
