Manage episode 328588982 series 1336034
Matt De Young is the executive director of the Santa Cruz Mountains Trail Stewardship, a non-profit that “builds and maintains great trails for everyone, and connects communities to nature through responsible outdoor recreation.”
In this episode we ask:
- How is the SCMTS organized?
- How many miles of bike trails does SCMTS support?
- When and why did the SCMTS get its start?
- Why the name change from Mountain Bikers of Santa Cruz to Santa Cruz Mountains Trail Stewardship?
- Are trail user conflicts a big issue in the Santa Cruz area?
- The SCMTS is one of the most vocal groups that’s promoting scientific studies showing the environmental impacts of mountain biking. How did the Mountain Biking Impact Review report come together?
- Tell us a bit about your professional trail building team. What types of projects do they work on, and how does that support the overall mission?
- What are some of the most popular trails your group helps support? Are any of the trails particularly popular with MTB tourists, or are most riders local residents?
- With big bike brands like Santa Cruz and Ibis located in the area, is your group able to benefit from corporate sponsorships? What’s the relationship like with UCSC?
- Are there many opportunities for new trail builds in Santa Cruz county?
- What does the current discussion around e-bike trail access look like for SCMTS?
- What’s the biggest constraint SCMTS faces in carrying out and growing the mission?
