History:
Who Are We?
Evergreen is Washington States largest mountain bike advocacy and trail building group. Created in 1989 as a grassroots solution to local trail networks closing to riders, Evergreen (formerly BBTC) became a viable force in the trail building and advocacy community. Due to the progression and growth of the sport, the past decade has lent itself to the expansion of the organization. Evergreen has 4 paid full time staff, one part time staff member, and an expansive network of dedicated volunteers ready to assemble, build and advocate throughout the year.
