BIRDHOUSES ON SALE TO BENEFIT MSTA Tom Ravizza is a very busy guy who always needs a project in order to prevent spontaneous self-combustion. He has created about 20 custom birdhouses while locked down and has donated them to Raven Tree wild bird and nature shop. They are on sale now and most of the profits will benefit the Mount Shasta Trail Association. Please consider dropping by Raven Tree to see these intricate and beautiful birdhouses which will make excellent holiday gifts. Raven Tree is in the Ray’s shopping center in Mt. Shasta and is owned by Kendra Bainbridge. Kendra and Tom are tireless supporters of MSTA. I’m getting my birdhouse today! Really...no kidding...not lying.

THANK YOU to our 15 amazing volunteers that came out on a cold Wednesday to work on the Heart Lake Trail! We are beyond stoked with the work that was accomplished and feeling like Christmas has come early for us this year. Seriously, with @cfnorthstate Giving Tuesday, the Prop 68 grant funding and the 5 incredible volunteer days we’ve had over the last two months, we are speechless. This is the best place to be be building this trail community! #trailbuilding #supportyourlocaltrailbuilder #communitylove

We have some incredible news to share this morning! The California Natural Resources Agency announced yesterday $27.7 million in grant funding to projects that expand access to the outdoors and boost recreational opportunities in communities across the state. We were awarded $1.1 million of that total to complete Gateway Phase 2. The grant comes from Prop 68 funding, which was passed in 2018 by California voters. This is an incredible opportunity for us to continue building Gateway Phase 2 along with the @the_mcconnell_foundation grant funding we’ve already received. Thank you to the voters for passing this prop, the Natural Resources Agency for seeing the importance of our project and to our amazing community of trail lovers for supporting us and loving us! #traillove #trailbuilding #trailwork #communitybuilding #gratitude

We had an incredible day of volunteer work today on trail #11 of Gateway Phase 2 (aka Come on Baby). We maintained a safe distance and accomplished a ton of work! Thank you to the 30 people that came out today and dug in the dirt with us. The momentum for volunteer trail work is growing and we could not be more grateful for the support!
