Cathy Naveaux, a DIRTT Tutor and trail advocate, shares her journey from dedicated volunteer to professional trail builder. Driven by her passion for the sport and commitment to environmental protection, she advocates for education, funding, and community collaboration to create sustainable trails.

In Spain, trail building is just starting to grow and is still far from getting the recognition it has in other countries. There are some successful stories and interesting things happening. But what about industry involvement? If you search the news, you would say there is barely any investment or involvement with trail builders. Weird, you would say that those selling bikes and components would like to have more trails, so more people bought more bikes.

But fear not; there are indeed brands involved with trail-building initiatives.
