PENNSYLVANIA ENVIRONMENTAL COUNCIL & GRAVEL CYCLING
The Pennsylvania Environmental Council (PEC) works to expand and connect trail networks that support recreation, conservation, and vibrant outdoor communities. Recognizing the rapid growth of gravel cycling, PEC also champions mixed-surface riding through research, advocacy, route development assistance, and events that highlight the connection between outdoor recreation, stewardship, and local economies, helping create more opportunities for cyclists to explore Pennsylvania's public lands and trail systems.
ROUTE DEVELOPMENT
From providing funding assistance through the Cycling Activation Mini Grant Program to providing local expertise and route development technical assistance, PEC helps to advance curated gravel route networks across the state of Pennsylvania.
