Bay Area Barns and Trails (BABT) is pleased to announce that after review and research, the Board of Directors selected 5 projects from 4 counties for grant awards totaling $12,935. With these awards BABT continues our mission of preserving and protecting public access to stables and trails in the Bay Area.

Since 2000 BABT has helped conservation minded equestrians preserve and restore natural areas and wildlife habitat, maintain parks and public open space, equestrian facilities, trails and trailheads by awarding approximately $323,435 in matching funds to thirty-nine land trusts, agencies and/or equestrian organizations. Bay Area Barns and Trails invites equestrians to submit funding requests for stewardship projects which will enhance equestrian trails, stables, pastures, and staging areas located in the San Francisco Bay Area counties. Questions should be made by e-mail to BABT Treasurer, Morris Older or by phone at 925-254-8943, before completing the form.
