Who: The ride is presented by SPARC, the Stewart Park and Reserve Coalition, an all-volunteer organization founded in 1987 to protect the Stewart buffer lands for future generations to enjoy. SPARC’s advocacy resulted in Stewart State Forest’s creation in late 2005. SSF is managed by the Dept. of Environmental Conservation.

Why: Because the lands were made for riding (…and hiking, and bird-watching, and fishing, and horseback riding, and hunting… the list goes on and on!)

How: With the generous support of our volunteers and sponsors!
