Braille Trail
6 weeks building better berms, jumps, and drops on Braille Trail, located in Soquel Demonstration State Forest. Support this work by donating today.
The Plan
We have 6 weeks on our calendar to make major improvements to one of the region's most advanced, sanctioned trails: Braille Trail. The goal: keep Braille, Braille—just better, faster + more fun.
— New and restored berms, jumps & log drops = more fun
— Major drainage/rutting improvements = fewer muddy days
— Minor trail reroutes = better alignments & more downhill

Support This Work
This work only happens because of donations from our community. Seriously. We love revamping trails, but it's costly to have machines running and crews working out in the forest every day. We’re hoping our community can rally and help pitch in so we can recoup our costs and make sure we can do work like this in beloved open spaces every year.
Dig with Us
Want to support but can’t commit the cash? We’re hosting weekly volunteer events on Braille Trail through the end of March. Sign up below to come out + help with the dig!
