The Santa Barbara County Trails Council is a grassroots membership organization that has worked vigorously on behalf of the people of Santa Barbara County to enhance the county’s trail network for over 50 years. We are inclusive in our support for volunteering, collaborating, and advocating for trail access on behalf of hikers, runners, bikers, equestrians, and all others who use trails for outdoor recreation. We provide trail-related planning, design, mapping, fundraising, construction, and maintenance services to city, county, state, and federal agencies, helping them achieve their goals.
Our Board of Directors
The board of directors and the organization's executive director, Mark Wilkinson, manage strategic planning, community outreach, program development, trail advocacy, new trail initiatives, fundraising, and continuing trail maintenance programs. Don't hesitate to get in touch with us to share your enthusiasm for trails in Santa Barbara County.
