Our collaborate work continues on the Tule Creek Trail. A group of 10 volunteers worked on the trail and found fun and success along the way.
Hell Gate Collaborative
A first of its kind collaborative kicked off last weekend on the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. BFTA was joined by Trinity Trail Alliance, RCMBA, and The Watershed Center to forge new pathways for recreation and trail work.

The trail work involved brush removal and tread work and the riding was a 15 mile route on the Smoky Creek Trail to the South Fork NRT back to our campground at Hell Gate.
