We brushed up on our chainsaw skills and dove in even deeper this weekend during our chainsaw re-certification course. It was a special class long in the making. We had always talked about holding a class on one of our actual projects in the backcountry. These classes are usually held at a Rec or Fire site that is accessible and more catered to first time sawyers. Our saw instructor on the Angeles, Greg, made it happen. All it took was for him to retire. We could not be more proud of Greg and his commitment and true love for the Angeles, and his new future path. We held our first class with him now that he officially retired as a USFS Battalion Chief on our next project - Gabrielino NRT - West Fork through Devore to Newcomb Pass. It was great to also include a few of the key sawyers who work with Saw Boss @tediseasy over @mwbaorg and @stevemessermtb of @corbamtb. 

Greg is like no other. Humble but demands respect, and a fountain of wisdom way beyond his years. He sets the bar high and so do we, because there’s no tree project worth tackling if you can’t do it safely. Many folks want to run a saw and reach out about wanting to get certified who have yet to volunteer on a basic trail maintenance day. Our team of sawyers is a tight knit group for a good reason. We have spent countless hours working on trails together. That’s something all of our sawyers have done and is Step 1 to becoming a sawyer:  showing up to the party.

This is what trail advocacy looks like across California today ⚒️

In just five short years, CAMTB has grown from 5 member organizations to a coalition of 43 trail orgs working across the state to protect, maintain, and expand access to the places we ride. From coastal trails to mountain singletrack, this network represents thousands of riders, volunteers, and advocates showing up for California’s trails. 🌞

Our role is to unite these organizations and represent them at the state level, making sure mountain bikers and trail stewards have a strong, coordinated voice where decisions are made. 🤝

All January long, we’ll be highlighting member organizations from across the state and sharing ways you can get involved locally. Find your people. Support your trails. 🌲
