WHO WE ARE

Stewards of the Sequoia promotes responsible recreation & environmental stewardship. Our membership is diverse. Many of our members have been living in the Kern Valley for over 30 years, while other members are new to the Kern Valley. We have adopted six trails on BLM & Sequoia Forest Land. Since its inception in 2004 Stewards award winning volunteer program has generated thousands of hours of volunteer time performing maintenance on over 900 miles of trails. Link to Stewards Volunteer Hour Meter  We are the largest on the ground volunteer group in the Sequoia National Forest. Stewards of the Sequoia are stakeholders with the Sequoia National Forest & have an MOU with them for stewardship. Our members care deeply about our Valley & our public lands. We represent & encourage multiple use in all forms. Our members enjoy every type of recreation in the Valley including dirt biking, 4x4, hunting, fishing, camping, boating, mountain biking, horseback riding, rock climbing, skiing, rock hounding, rafting, kayaking, windsurfing, hiking & more.

Our volunteers planted over 200 native Jeffrey Pines to help speed forest recovery from the 150,000 McNally Wildfire

Please join us in keeping our trails open, as well as keeping the land healthy.
