Stewards of the Sequoia are people who
enjoy all types of recreation including:
Off Road Vehicles, Mountain Bikes, Horse Riding, Hiking,
Hunting, Fishing, Camping, Windsurfing, Boating, Rock Climbing and more.....
We put our time and sweat into the trails we love as the largest on the ground
volunteer organization in the Sequoia National Forest to keep trails open to everyone.
| 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

Congressman McCarthy Speaks Out
About The WAR ON WESTERN JOBS and WILDERNESS
"If you’re like a lot of families, and enjoy dirt
biking and off-roading in the Sequoia National Forest
around Lake Isabella, a wilderness area designation
would prevent you from enjoying those activities. These
designations not only push Federal land management
agencies away from managing public lands for multiple
uses, but they destroy an economic mainstay in many
rural communities in the western United States, depend
on revenue from visitors to neighboring Federal lands."
