04 / How We Work
A smarter budget.
An engaged community.
Operational efficiency comes from pairing professional crews with Evergreen's 9,000+ member community — an advantage a standard trail contractor doesn't bring.
"Hybrid" Budget
By using a professional crew lead to direct volunteer days, the project can achieve high-end results at a fraction of the cost of a 100% contracted crew. This allows the land manager's budget to go further.
Built-in Maintenance
When a community is involved in the build, they're trained to maintain the trail. This "standing army" of stewards handles routine maintenance — clearing drains, removing fallen limbs — at minimal cost to the land manager.
05 / Portfolio

to Tehaleh.
50+ completed projects across Washington: I-5 Colonnade Bike Park (City of Seattle). Duthie Hill Mountain Bike Park (King County Parks, ~100,000 visits/year).
