  Trail: Port Gamble - Port Gamble, Washington (West Sound Chapter) Project Goal: A new ride area at Port Gamble Forest. Funds needed: $10,000     Support New West Sound Trails Now! Evergreen perspective: "The Port Gamble Forest was on the table for development and we worked to save that land. A cornerstone of that conservation effort was to build a ride park for mountain bikers. It’s time to deliver on that promise. We’re creating a culture of conservation through recreation and this ride park is a continuation of that. I also see this as a huge education opportunity. For the younger generation of riders here, this ride park is going to change lives for the better." – Matt Slaney, Evergreen West Sound Chapter President Donate Now and #BeTheBuilder!

  Trail: No. 2 Canyon - Wenatchee, Washington (Central Chapter) Project Goal: 8 new trail miles at No. 2 Canyon near Wenatchee, connecting the town to Mission Ridge. Funds needed: $5,000     Support New Trails at No. 2 Canyon Now! Evergreen perspective: "No. 2 Canyon is Wenatchee’s 30 mile trail system. It's a critical piece of the puzzle connecting trail systems together. Riding from town to No. 2 Canyon and connecting the Horse Lake trails would make for 50 miles of uninterrupted singletrack. It’s going to have something for the entire family. We’ll have a gazebo and a skills park with everything from beginner trails to advanced black diamond directional trails. It’s truly a comprehensive trail plan." – Travis Hornby, Evergreen Central Chapter President   Local rider perspective: "No. 2 Canyon is a unique place for us in the valley. The terrain there is a bit higher up and enters into a whole new type of topography. It brings you up out of the desert and into land with more dispersed trees. When you go up there, you see these amazing rock lines that are just begging for trails to connect them. There are all kinds of lines you want to ride, but there isn’t much flow the way it is now. This new project would connect everything and make for an incredible riding experience." – Craig Vander Hart, local rider and philosophy professor at Wenatchee Valley College   Donate Now and #BeTheBuilder at No. 2 Canyon!

This week, Evergreen members have another Chapter to celebrate: the brand new Cascades to Sound Chapter. Officially launched on April 16th, Cascades to Sound serves riders and volunteers in the greater Seattle region throughout King, Snohomish and Pierce Counties.

Our Kittitas Chapter is working on two exiting new trail projects.  We need your help to submit comments on proposed trail network designs for Manastash Ridge near Ellensburg, and the Towns to Teanaway trail project in Roslyn and Cle Elum.
