WE MAINTAIN AND UPDATE OUR WEBSITE REGULARLY TO PROVIDE USEFUL INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC.WE CONTINUE TO WORK ON A CRITICAL ASPECT OF OUR MISSION - CLOSING THE GAPS THAT EXIST IN THE TRAIL. THE FRIENDS OF STEVENS CREEK TRAIL TOOK THE LEAD IN IDENTIFYING POTENTIAL ALIGNMENTS WHERE GAPS IN THE TRAIL EXIST TODAY. IN A FEW INSTANCES WHERE THE LAND WAS UNDER PRIVATE OWNERSHIP, THE FRIENDS WORKED WITH THE OWNERS FOR FUTURE EXTENSIONS TO RUN THROUGH THEIR PROPERTY AND EVEN ORGANIZED VOLUNTEER EVENTS TO DEVELOP DIRT TRACKS THERE. THE EXTENSIONS FROM STEVENS CREEK BOULEVARD TO VARIAN PARK AND FROM LINDA VISTA PARK TO THE COUNTY PARK, ALL IN CUPERTINO, ARE TWO EXAMPLES.WE DO NOT COLLECT FUNDS TO DIRECT THEM TO TRAIL MAINTENANCE OR DEVELOPMENT. THAT'S THE DOMAIN OF THE CITIES AND JURISDICTIONS THAT OWN THE CREEKS AND THE TRAILS. WE DO OUTREACH AND ADVOCACY WHICH LEADS TO COMMUNITY SUPPORT, WHICH IN TURN LEADS TO DECISIONS FURTHERING THE CAUSE OF THE WILDLIFE CORRIDOR AND THE TRAILS.THE DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS COMPLEMENT THE CLEANUPS AND DE-WEEDING, ALL OF WHICH MAKE OUR VOLUNTEERING PROGRAM EVEN MORE WELL-ROUNDED.UNDER THE SIGNAGE PROGRAM, TREMENDOUS PROGRESS WAS MADE TO UNIFY THE STEVENS CREEK TRAIL WHICH RUNS THROUGH MULTIPLE CITIES AND JURISDICTIONS. THE MEDALLION, DESIGNED, DEVELOPED AND PRODUCED BY THE FRIENDS HAS BEEN INSTALLED IN ALL TRAIL SEGMENTS. THE NEW SIGNAGE HAS NOT REPLACED THE CITY SPECIFIC SIGNS WHICH WILL CONTINUE. THE INSTALLATION WORK, CARRIED OUT BY THE FRIENDS IN MOST LOCATIONS, WAS PRECEDED BY A MULTI-YEAR EFFORT TO FORGE AGREEMENTS WITH ALL PARTIES ALONG THE TRAIL TO HAVE COMMON SIGNAGE.$42,440
THE FISH PASSAGE PROJECT AT DEEP CLIFF GOLF COURSE IS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE WILDLIFE CORRIDOR PROGRAM. IT WAS COMPLETED IN 2022. THE FRIENDS HAVE AN AGREEMENT TO CONDUCT 5 YEARLY MONITORING TASKS. THE FIRST ONE WAS COMPLETED IN 2023. VOLUNTEER PARTICIPATION IN THE MONITORING EVENT ENABLED US TO HOLD THE COST TO A SIXTH OF WHAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN WITH PAID SERVICES.$8,396
THE TRAILBLAZER RACE, AFTER A BREAK OF TWO YEARS FORCED BY THE PANDEMIC, RETURNED AS AN IN-PERSON EVENT.$14,462
