Mountains to Sound Greenway

There are several different ways to volunteer with the Greenway Trust. Volunteer event opportunities include restoration, native plant nursery, trail maintenance and construction, and the Trailhead Ambassador Program.

Evergreen Trail Runs

Volunteers help make the races possible. Those of you who give time and energy to help support these races are treated as well, if not better than, the racers. Evergreen Trails work hard to make sure that you receive the resources necessary to be a successful volunteer, that you’re safe, as comfortable as possible, and that you have a great time outside with us and the racers in the beautiful Pacific Northwest!

Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance

Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance was originally formed in response to trail closures and a lack of riding opportunities around Seattle. While things have gotten much better, and we now have hundreds of miles of trails to ride, it won’t stay that way unless someone is always paying attention and taking action.
