The Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship(SBTS) is a non-profit organization, staffed mostly by people who have been playing and living in these hills for decades. We believe that this is an area that offers unique natural beauty, a unique level of accessibility, and a uniquely diverse number of recreational opportunities. We don’t believe in raping the land for the sake of a dollar bill, nor do we advocate a "hands off" approach to the backcountry. We believe that, with proper care, this area can provide enjoyable backcountry access for everyone for decades to come. We believe, and maybe we will be proven wrong in the end (but for now we remain optimistic), that with a few well intentioned staff members and proper funding, we can keep the trails of this region in pristine shape. We believe that we can reduce watershed siltation, that we can make existing trails less prone to erosion, and that we can rebuild trails in a manner that is aesthetically pleasing and enjoyable for all users. And we believe, with an eye always toward staying in balance with nature, that this very special place can exist as a showcase for how to co-exist, humans to nature, and human to human.
