The Vision of Connected Communities

On this episode of Dirt Magic, we hitch a ride on the vision quest that is Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship's Connected Communities—a vision that was born seven years ago and has continued on a path to fruition for the last five. And along this quest to bring communities together using trails as the tool, the vision has gained new friends, new ideas and in fact, a new route toward where we are today: the peoples' plan. Joining us on this episode are two integral SBTS family members, SBTS executive director Greg Williams and director of grant management, Michelle Abramson.
