What are the Friends of Stevens Creek Trail's creek and habitat projects?
For the past several years we have partnered with Grassroots Ecology to run habitat restoration projects by our office at McClellan Ranch Preserve in Cupertino. For 2019-2020, these were held the 3rd Saturday of each month between November and May (except for during Shelter In Place).

Are volunteers needed? What do they get to do?
YES! Activities vary with the season. Our two big volunteer events are an early spring Trail Work Day and the Trailblazer Race on the last Sunday in September. We can also use volunteers throughout the year to help with running the organization or positions on the Board of Directors.
Cupertino, Sunnyvale and Los Altos residents are also needed at various times throughout the year to participate in their Parks and Recreation Committee meetings and City Council Meetings. Visit the Trail Status page to sign up on our mailing list for your city.

What is Friends of Stevens Creek Trail's position on trail alignments?
FoSCT does not take positions on trail alignments.
We have decided that having or expressing an opinion about a particular trail alignment could be detrimental to our primary goal of getting the trail built.
Many of the people involved with the organization do, as individuals, have some preferences and opinions, and may express these in various public and private forums, but they should always be certain to qualify their remarks as not being the opinion of FoSCT.
