Evergreen is #RiderPowered. And every year that means hundreds of volunteers are out in the woods helping build and maintain trails across Washington State, spending time in meetings and advocating for great trails, and teaching riders new skills. The dedication of these folks are the foundation of our organization, the stewards of our extensive trail systems, and the glue that bonds our community together.

As 2024 comes to a close and we call on riders around the state to donate to our end-of-year fundraiser, Fund the Adventure, we're excited to share all that we accomplished in our Education Program throughout 2024.
The Evergreen Education Program celebrated another remarkable year in 2024, with exciting growth in the instructor community and adaptive mountain biking (aMTB) programs. Youth participation remained strong, volunteers stepped up in incredible ways, and new innovations—like on-trail classes and expanded inclusivity training—helped create even more welcoming, engaging, and high-quality experiences for riders across Washington.

The Expanding Public Lands Outdoor Recreation Experiences (EXPLORE) act is poised to significantly improve outdoor recreation access and policy across the United States—but it needs your support to cross the finish line.
This bipartisan bill is one of the most comprehensive outdoor recreation packages proposed in decades. From creating adaptive trails and expanding long-distance biking opportunities to enhancing access for veterans, kids, and underserved communities, the EXPLORE Act ensures that everyone can enjoy the outdoors.

The Evergreen team has been hard at work in 2024, expanding ride options and trail networks across the state. Thanks to the dedication of our trail builders and volunteers, we have opened a diverse range of new trails this year, including 2 new full trail systems (The Trek at Tehaleh in Bonney Lake, and Tennant Trailhead Park in North Bend) —from beginner-friendly flow trails to more rugged, technical descents. These new trails reflect not only the skill and commitment of the Evergreen team but also the variety of riding experiences we aim to provide for all types of riders. We are excited to share the results of this work and invite you to explore these new additions! Read on for our top 15 out of 40+ new trails highlighted in this blog post.
