With an eye on the current state of the pandemic, what is your destination doing to cater to families? Digital Detox Where are the best places for those looking to disconnect from their screens/devices for a while? Are there locations and businesses in your destination where Wi-Fi is unavailable or discouraged? What's New in Sustainability Infusing sustainability into a nearly $150 billion state tourism industry presents a powerful demonstration effect for the rest of the world, and California is already shaping how travel and hospitality businesses globally are approaching sustainability. As Visit California works to further spread this message and provide specific examples across our industry, we’re looking to partners to find out what’s new in sustainability in your destination this year. Innovation Outside of Silicon Valley Silicon Valley is widely known for its thriving tech scene, but who else is shining across the state? This piece will spotlight the lesser-known destinations making waves in the innovation space and how visitors can experience this creativity firsthand. Happy to answer any questions you may have.

Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship These last two weeks have been busy and we're just getting started in 2022! Last week, we presented at the Nevada County Woods Riders monthly meeting where Greg presented the Connected Communities Project and vision. We received great feedback from the group and were honored to receive a $1,000 donation towards the Project. Next, we held two public meetings, one virtual and one in-person on Thursday, February 3rd, where Mandy and the trail crew discussed the upcoming 2022 projects. The in-person meeting was a great success, bringing communities members to the patio at Yuba Adventure Center in Quincy to gather to ask questions or provide their thoughts about upcoming project planning. Lastly, we had a booth at the Annual Groundhog Fever Festival and Chili Cook Off in Quincy over the weekend to celebrate the coming of Spring with the community. SBTS provided information on the Connected Communities Project and Yuba Expeditions hosted a pixie bike course for the kids and showed off the new Santa Cruz Hecklers. The event had a great turn out, and it was nice to see so many smiling faces! SBTS is committed to playing a fundamental role in using trails to promote fun recreation opportunities as well as economic stability throughout the region. We really enjoy getting out in the community, chatting with community members, and look forward to more community events in 2022!
