Chances are, your Inbox has been flooded by organi Chances are, your Inbox has been flooded by organizations asking for donations, and corporations trying their best to convince you to buy buy buy.

We hope you will continue to support us this season and in the year ahead. Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday, and we will be reaching out encouraging you to donate to support the AZT. We have a lot of work ahead of us to repair the #AZT after fires and floods, build new singletrack to replace road segments, introduce more youth to nature and the empowering act of stewardship, support veterans on their healing journeys out on the trail, and so much more. Please give generously. We're all in this together. 📷 @whwatersphotography

🌵🪏 Trail Skills in Action! Over the weekend (Nov 🌵🪏 Trail Skills in Action! Over the weekend (Nov 22–23), our Trail Skills Institute crew had perfect trail-building weather as they learned the fundamentals of sustainable trail design from Instructor Mark Loseth of Raven Trails. Participants practiced techniques like backslope, tread hinge, critical edge, outsloping, and grade reversals to maximize natural drainage and create long-lasting tread. Out on the trail, the crew refined and finished ~0.14 miles of new trail on Passage 5 of the Santa Rita Singletrack! 🌄💪 With an intergenerational team ranging from 16 to 80+, both new volunteers and seasoned Trail Stewards made this course a big success. 🙌 Thanks to everyone who joined—your work adds to the AZT legacy and will last for years to come! #TrailSkillsInstitute #SantaRitaSingletrack #TrailBuilding #SustainableTrails #VolunteerPower #LoveThisTrail
