Stewards of the Sequoia was formed in 2004 to help keep trails open in the Sequoia National Forest and beyond
No organization works harder or is as effective as Stewards of the Sequoia at keeping Sequoia trails open to everyone.
Over the past ten years Stewards of the Sequoia have accomplished so much. This raffle fundraiser will help ensure we have enough funding to be effective in the upcoming Piute Trail Plan, Sequoia Forest Plan Revision, BLM Trail Plan and other plans to ensure all trails remain open to everyone.
All proceeds from the raffle tickets will be donated to Stewards of the Sequoia to help fund our efforts to keep your trails open.
