Join Washington Wild and Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance for Earth Day Movie and Brews: a free outdoor movie night in the covered beer garden to celebrate Earth Day!

In honor of Earth Day we are celebrating the unique way in which Washington Wild and Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance have come together in Washington State to ensure access to important mountain biking trails while balancing the need for conservation on our public lands, including Wilderness designations. While the relationship between Wilderness and mountain biking is contentious elsewhere in the U.S., these two organizations have demonstrated that there is plenty of common ground between these two communities. This Washington Approach has proven that we can work together to create a wild and green Washington with amazing opportunities to recreate.
