We are real people with a real interest in
Multiple Use Trails for everyone's
benefit.
CTUC was created for the opportunity to work with all trail-users in our
National Forests
The California Trail Users Coalition is a non-profit corporation designed to help all interested parties participate in a beneficial forum. Our mission statement is as follows:
“To provide a forum for all trail users to discuss related issues, problems
and alternative solutions; to assist in the planning, development, maintenance
and hosting of trails; and to help enforce the rules of the road; and to develop
and maintain programs designed to educate users on proper use of trails and
trail etiquette.”
Opportunities for different user groups to use different trails are dwindling. As a result, we must share our public lands if we plan to continue enjoying them.
We will all win in the long run if we will give a little rather than fighting over recreation resources. The conflicts from the past have been unproductive. We must devote our energy to the development of new trails. We must focus our efforts on the future of recreation. You can help us make a difference by becoming a member of the California Trail Users Coalition.
Support Multiple Use
California Trail Users Coalition believes strongly in true multiple use and the
benefits therein. As backpackers, hikers, mountain bikers, equestrians,
motorcyclists, A.T.V. users, off-roaders, cross country skiers, four wheel
drivers, snowmobilers, etc. We are all interested in the same thing. We all want
multiple opportunities to practice our own personal interests. We all share the
responsibility to maintain trails for the use of current and future generations.
Working together we possess much more strength and potential.
Support Education
CTUC is always working to aid in the education of all trail users. We all need
to remember the "rules of the road" as we travel the back-country. We help
create and distribute flyers that promote ecological use of public lands, proper
etiquette on the trails, trail courtesy recommendations, safe means of multiple
use, treading lightly,
etc.
CTUC is committed to education and will do all it can make sure we are all aware
of the importance of multiple use.
Your support of the CTUC is crucial.
Support Your Public Lands
Our public land managers are facing many challenges and they need our help. They
have the awesome job of trying to allocate land and resources to meet the needs
of all residents and visitors. Managers are striving to maintain user safety and
protect natural resources. The whole time they must provide high-quality user
experiences. This inevitably leads to conflicts. They need us to help create a
Win-Win situation by seeing the big picture and considering the other person's
point of view. The need to know where opportunities exist and what it takes for
a recreational experience to be an exceptional one.
Support the CTUC
With your membership, CTUC will be able to ensure open lines of
communication between user groups, public land managers, private land owners and
other groups interested in recreational opportunities. You assistance today will
guarantee your opportunities tomorrow. Please see the next side to information
on joining the CTUC. All tax deductible memberships
come with a subscription to our newsletter, a pair of stickers for your
vehicles, a membership card and the opportunity to participate in all of the
events. Members are also welcome at our corporate meetings.
We meet the 3rd Wednesday of every month at 3550 Foothill Blvd., Glendale, CA.
