Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance

Mission Statement: Evergreen creates and protects sustainable mountain biking opportunities in Washington. It is Evergreens goal to make Washington the best place in the country to ride a mountain bike. We accomplish this by: 1) Advocacy work with landowners/managers statewide. 2) Performing thousands of hours of trail work every year. 3) Educating mountain bikers through classes and clinics. 4) Getting out on the trails and riding together! Who Are We? Evergreen is Washington States largest mountain bike advocacy and trail building group. Created in 1989 as a grassroots solution to local trail networks closing to riders, Evergreen (formerly BBTC) became a viable force in the trail building and advocacy community. Due to the progression and growth of the sport, the past decade has lent itself to the expansion of the organization. Evergreen has 5 full-time staff, 3 part-time staff members, and an expansive network of dedicated volunteers ready to assemble, build and advocate throughout the year.

Evergreen boasts of: A network of over 10000 supporters. Over 15000 volunteer hours annually. Over 1000 individual volunteers annually. Over 700 rides led per year. Over 500 Mountain Bike Dirtcamp graduates introduced to the sport and the culture. Evergreen focuses on: Advocacy: Evergreen advocates for trail access and funding with city, county, state, and federal officials. In addition, we coordinate volunteers to protect, maintain, and build single and shared use trails and mountain bike parks. Education: Evergreen educates the public on the benefits of mountain biking and how to safely and responsibly ride off road. Recreation: Evergreen provides recreational activities to anyone who wants to go mountain biking. Our web site hosts a ride calendar that opens up group rides exposing interested riders to new trails and new friends.
