SHERIDAN, Wyo. – Sheridan Community Land Trust (SCLT) has received a grant from Athletic Brewing Company to help improve trail accessibility at the Big Goose Natural Area.
The funding will support gravel surfacing improvements designed to make trails more accessible to people with mobility challenges, helping more community members enjoy the natural area’s outdoor spaces.
Sheridan Community Land Trust was one of 208 organizations selected to receive a Two For The Trails grant from Athletic Brewing Company in 2026. Named after Athletic Co-Founder and CEO Bill Shufelt’s family tradition of taking two brews to toast post-trail adventures, this program gives back up to $2 million annually to protect and restore outdoor spaces across the globe. Grant funds will be used to improve trail accessibility through gravel surfacing at the Big Goose Natural Area.
“One of our goals at Big Goose Natural Area is to create opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to connect with the outdoors,” said Brad Bauer, SCLT Executive Director. “These improvements will help us make the trails more accessible and welcoming. We’re grateful to Athletic Brewing for investing in a place our community can enjoy for years to come.”
The Big Goose Natural Area features more than two miles of trails, creek access and opportunities for outdoor recreation and education. Improving trail surfaces is part of SCLT’s ongoing commitment to making the natural area more accessible while caring for the land and its natural resources.
“This year, Two For The Trails received more than 460 applications seeking over $10.2 million, a clear sign of how much our shared outdoor spaces and the communities around them need support. We’re proud to fund 208 organizations throughout the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. Together, these projects help people enjoy the outdoors while protecting nature for future generations. We’re grateful to stand alongside so many dedicated nonprofits making this possible,” said Cara Wilson, Impact Manager, Athletic Brewing Company.
