Bicycle Trails Council was selected as a grant recipient as part the Two for the Trails 2022 Grant program offered by Athletic Brewing Co. This year 190 applications with requests totaling $6.2 million were received! BTCEB is ecstatic to learn that our organization as been been awarded a Two for the Trails grant in the amount of $5,289.00.
This project will purchase additional tools, a bike trailer, shirts for volunteers, and lunch for volunteers to enable our trail maintenance work days and encourage volunteerism on our beloved East Bay trails. The Bicycle Trails Council of the East Bay conducts volunteer trail maintenance days primarily at Joaquin Miller Park in Oakland, CA and Crockett Hills Regional Park along with other East Bay Regional Park District and John Muir Land Trust open spaces.
Our work scopes consist of drainage maintenance, tread and erosion repair, brushing, downed tree clearing, removal of invasive vegetation, and repair of grazing cattle damage to trails. Volunteers are drawn from the mountain bike community, the trails community, and local NICA middle and high school mountain bike programs. BTCEB volunteer maintenance days teach trail stewardship to our volunteers.
