Your Season Starts Here: Evergreen's 2026 Spring Fundraiser

April 6–19, 2026 | Donate Now

Get your favorite trails ready to ride.

Your season doesn't start the moment you roll out. It starts right now, with the people who are already out there making it happen.

Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance builds and maintains the trails riders across Washington depend on, from storm-battered singletrack in the Central Cascades to the crown jewels of King and Spokane County. This spring, we're putting crews on the ground across all 10 chapters. The season is almost here. Be part of what makes it great.

This year's campaign runs April 6–19 with a goal of $133,000 across 11 trail projects and 10 chapters. Every dollar is tax-deductible and 100% stays on Washington dirt. Donate here.

Chapter Projects

General Trails Fund — All Chapters

Washington's trails don't maintain themselves — and right now, public funding can't keep up. The General Trails Fund puts your gift to work immediately, wherever the need is greatest. Trail crews across all 10 chapters. Blowdowns cleared. Drainage restored. Tread protected. Every dollar is flexible, deployable, and stays on Washington dirt.

Some trails don't fit a single chapter project — they just need fixing. This fund makes sure no trail falls through the cracks.

Central Area Storm Recovery — Central Chapter

In December 2025, an atmospheric river hit the Central Chapter with 80 mph winds, near-70° temperatures, and overnight snowmelt. Landslides. Washouts. Entire hillsides of blowdown. Trails that have served this community for decades were suddenly closed, buried, or destroyed.

Blowdowns don't move on their own. Your gift puts crews on the ground at Ski Hill, Number 2 Canyon, Echo Ridge, and beyond — so riders can get back on the trails they love this season. The sooner we start, the sooner we ride.

Raging / Tiger Maintenance — Cascades to Sound

Tiger Mountain and Raging River see over 150,000 riders a year — and their public maintenance funding just got cut. These aren't just trails. They're Washington's most-ridden backcountry systems. Without this campaign, the drainage fails, the tread craters, and the flow disappears. Your gift funds the professional crews, machine work, and material to keep them riding the way they should.

The state stepped back. We get to step up.

Badger Community Park — Columbia Basin

A municipality hired Evergreen to design a community bike park for Columbia Basin. To secure the full contract and build it, Evergreen needs to raise an $8,175 cash match. The city is invested. The design is done. Evergreen delivers community-built trails that wouldn't exist otherwise — and this gift is what makes the contract happen.

A small ask with a big outcome. This is what Evergreen does beyond the shovel: earning the trust of cities to build community assets.

Cowlitz-Naches Maintenance — Cowlitz-Naches

The Cowlitz-Naches Chapter keeps riders moving across Yakima and Lewis Counties. We'll be maintaining Russell Ridge and the Little Naches corridor — Cow Canyon, Ravens Roost, Mt. Clifty, Quartz Mountain, and Quartz Creek. Your gift goes directly to the trail work happening this season.

The trails aren't waiting. We're getting out there to maintain them.

East Area Trail Maintenance — East

Beacon Hill is the most recognized trail system in Eastern Washington — and it needs your help. Antoine Peak and Beacon Hill make up the East Chapter's riding backbone, serving thousands of Spokane-area riders every season. Shrinking state maintenance budgets have left a gap that volunteer days alone can't fill. This campaign funds the professional crew time and equipment to keep these trails riding at the level this community expects.

If you've ever ridden Beacon, this one's personal.

Naneum Phase 3 — Kittitas

Naneum Ridge is one of Eastern Washington's most beloved trail systems — and Phase 3 is what completes it. This is the final push on a multi-year build, with a DNR work order ready to sign and crews standing by. Funds raised here determine how long crews stay on-site and how much of the vision gets finished this season. The plan is done. The permits are moving. The only variable is you.

Funds raised can also serve as a match for two Kittitas Stewardship Fund grants — doubling their impact.

Loup Loup Phase 2 — Methow

Loup Loup has been building momentum for years — new trail added every season, the system growing toward something extraordinary. Phase 2 closes the gap. Trails #12 and #14 connect the base to the summit, unlocking loops that didn't exist before and turning a promising network into a fully rideable mountain experience. Your gift extends the build season by a month — the difference between a trail and a trail that makes you come back.

Every great trail system has a turning point. This is Loup Loup's.

Swan Creek Education Zone — South Sound

Swan Creek Park in Tacoma is already the South Sound's mountain bike hub — home to youth programs, adaptive riding, and the region's most accessible trail network. What it's missing is a dedicated place to teach. This campaign builds that: a purpose-built education zone with progressive features for first-timers, youth clinics, and adaptive athletes. Accessible by public transit. Supported by Parks Tacoma. Built for the riders who need it most.

"Bikes can change lives. But only when riders have a place to start." — Heather DeChoudens

Yacolt Burn Maintenance — Southwest

The Yacolt Burn is the premier riding destination for Southwest Washington and the greater Portland metro — Cold Creek, Thrilla, Sixth Sense, 30 miles of high-country singletrack. Years of record-breaking use and shrinking DNR budgets have pushed these trails to a tipping point. This campaign deploys a professional strike team to armor the corridors and restore storm-damaged zones before the damage compounds. Keep the Burn world-class.

If we can't prove we can maintain it, we lose our seat at the table for future expansion.

PGRP Tech Trails + Maintenance — West Sound

Port Gamble is the heartbeat of Kitsap County riding — and demand has outpaced what the current maintenance contract can cover. This campaign funds four new technical skill-building trails alongside deferred maintenance across the park. Built for youth programs, adaptive riders, and every skill level in between. Open year-round and free to ride — PGRP belongs to this community. Let's make sure it stays that way.

"I can't believe this place is open year round, and free to use." — Chelsea Kimball, Red Bull Rampage Rider

What Your Gift Does

$100 — Fuel a day of trail work. Keeps a crew moving — fueling equipment, clearing blowdowns, and armoring tread across Washington's most-loved trail systems.

$250 — Put a crew lead on trail. Half a day of professional trail work — repairing drainage, rebuilding tread, and getting Washington's trails ready before you clip in this spring.

$500 — Fund a full day of season prep. A full day of crew work — storm damage cleared, drains rebuilt, trail restored. This is the work that makes spring happen on Washington's trails.

Why Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance

Washington riders are building and protecting the trails we all love. When public agencies stepped back from trail maintenance, Evergreen stepped forward. We're now the effective maintenance budget for some of the state's most-used trail systems — from Tiger Mountain to the Methow to Swan Creek.

This spring campaign funds the crews, the machines, the materials, and the hours that make your riding season possible.

Shovel-ready. Permits approved. Crews scheduled. The season just needs you.
