$10,000 Goal

Wildridge Trail Coalition is a Colorado non-profit corporation and public charity approved under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3).   Formed in December, 2020, our mission is to collaborate with and provide direction to key stakeholders to ensure all user groups, machine or muscle powered, have sustainable and equitable access to designated trails in Eagle County, Colorado.  Our vision is to be an effective team that guides the establishment of summer and winter access while at the same time protecting wildlife.

 

Our guiding principals and services provided are as follows:

 

  • Identify an effective strategy to achieve our mission and vision.
  • Advocate for equitable access for all user groups.
  • Identify opportunities and coordinate efforts to assist the Forest Service with stewardship, trail building and maintenance through already established programs such as the Adopt a Trail Program and the Motorized Trail Ambassador Program.
  • Work toward conserving and restoring our forest, mitigating wildfire danger and promoting a healthy habitat for wildlife.
  • Grant writing and fundraising necessary as necessary to fund and support our mission and vision.
  • Maintain balance between recreation and conservation.

Mission

To collaborate with and provide direction to key stakeholders to ensure all user groups, machine and muscle powered, have sustainable and equitable access to designated trails in Eagle County, Colorado.

Background Statement

To date, our organization has been funded through donations from private donors, the Berry Creek Metro District and Singletree Homeowners Association. Along with the Town of Avon and Forest Service, we jointly applied and were awarded the 2022-2023 Colorado Parks and Wildlife Off-Highway Vehicle Program State Trail Grant. The funds from this grant together with a match from the Town of Avon, in kind donations from the Forest Service and community support funded the heavy maintenance project this summer on FS Rd. 779, Metcalf Creek Road.
