San Vicente Redwoods Update

We just heard some great news from the Land Trust of Santa Cruz County! The partners managing San Vicente Redwoods have successfully worked through their public access planning process and are moving forward with submitting their plan to Santa Cruz County for approval this spring.

Check out the public access plan here. What does this mean for mountain bikers? Well this means that we are one step closer to getting to ride the 20+ miles of new trails that MBOSC designed in partnership with the SIerra Buttes Trail Stewardship. These trails will eventually connect to Cotoni-Coast Dairies National Monument and onto the Rail Trail. This means being able to ride, hike, or trot from nearly the top of Ben Lomond Mountain on Empire Grade all the way down to Davenport on the coast! The plan is to build out the trail network in phases and if things go well with the environmental review process with the county we could be building trail next year! Your support may be needed to get this project through the environmental review process. We saw what happened to the Velocity Bike Park Project in Felton during this same process and want to avoid a similar fate. Please keep your ear out for opportunities to speak out or write a letter to support the Land Trust of Santa Cruz County’s public access plan for San Vicente Redwoods.
