We're all about creating and maintaining trails that everyone can enjoy, whether you're biking, hiking, or on a walk with friends or family. We're passionate about conserving our beautiful forests and making a positive impact on our town's economy.

At BTA, our mission is all about developing trails that offer safe, fun, and environmentally friendly outdoor adventures for everyone. We believe that connecting people with nature not only boosts physical health but also builds a stronger sense of community and care for our environment. None of this would be possible without the dedication and hard work of our incredible volunteers and board members, who pour their time, energy, and passion into every trail we develop and maintain.
