Who?

You! But, if you are wondering who we are... The Friends of Stevens Creek Trail is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization supporting the promotion and completion of the Stevens Creek Trail (linking the Bay Trail to the Ridge Trail) through the communities of Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Los Altos, Cupertino, and Santa Clara County, connecting to trails that end at the Pacific Ocean. Currently, Mountain View's completed segment of trail extends south 4.8 miles from Shoreline Park past Central Expressway and El Camino Real to Sleeper Avenue in Mountain View. And Cupertino has just opened a 0.7 mile segment of trail along the creek extending north from McClellan Road through McClellan Ranch to Blackberry Farm. The Friends of Stevens Creek Trail community outreach volunteers support the Stevens Creek Trail and Wildlife Corridor through habitat restoration and trail projects, creek clean-ups, contribution of funds, and other activities.
