Youth trail-building and environmental stewardship program that connects riders to the land they ride, and empowers them to shape it.

Participants don’t just use trails; they learn how to design, build, and sustain them responsibly.

Through hands-on projects, youth construct safe, sustainable trail features while studying the science behind terrain, drainage, flow, and erosion control. Each build integrates real-world STEM principles — including math, physics, and engineering — equipping them with practical, transferable skills they can apply both on the trail and beyond it.

Trail Gnomes transforms riders into builders.

By working alongside mentors and community volunteers, participants develop:

• Environmental responsibility and stewardship

• Leadership through service

• Teamwork and collaboration

• Critical thinking and problem-solving skills
