Stewards of the Sequoia are people who enjoy all types of recreation including:
Off Road Vehicles, Mountain Bikes, Horse Riding, Hiking, Hunting, Fishing, Camping, Rock Climbing and more..... 

Others have told us that we cannot share our public lands. We know we can and do. We encourage all people to share the trails. We believe that no one group of users has more right to enjoy public lands than another.

There are enough Public Lands for all to use and share

TOGETHER WE CAN KEEP OUR TRAILS OPEN

Stewards of the Sequoia members care deeply about our lands, wildlife and forests. We represent all people who enjoy multiple use trails. We are the largest on the ground volunteer organization in the Sequoia National Forest. Our volunteers perform maintenance on over 200 miles of trail each year as a Forest Partner. See our Volunteer Hour Meter for the total hours and miles our volunteers have donated. Check our
Events Page and find out how you can help keep your trails healthy.

We do not tolerate trail closures unless there is a valid reason. Then we try to fix the problem, instead of allowing the trail to be closed.

We sponsor
tree plantings to speed up the renewal of the largest fire in the history of the Sequoia National Forest, the McNally 150,000 acre wildfire area.

We support the Forest Service in common sense management of our forest to promote forest health.

We promote Responsible Recreation and Environmental Stewardship

Stewards of the Sequoia was formed in 2004 to help keep trails open to everyone.

We are your Grass Roots Trail Advocates

We are a volunteer based non profit 501c3 under California Trail User Coalition
