MTBMD
MTBMD is a volunteer organization focused on the community benefits of outdoor recreation, shared trail use, and education. Our goal is to nurture a shared commitment to our trails and outdoor spaces and mutual respect across all user groups.
Advocating For Trail Users
We believe that the Hashawha Environmental Center and the Union Mills Equestrian trails are the gems of Carroll County, MD. We work with the county and the parks department to advocate for improved trail access and safer trails for all users whether you ride a bike, walk, run or trot.
