Originally incorporated in 1980 as the Folsom Lake Trail Patrol, the California Conservation of Trails (CCT) became a non-profit and integral part of the Folsom Lake SRA Mounted Assistance Unit, raising funds for the support of the volunteer mounted unit and its projects.
At the request of California State Parks, the CCT became a separate corporation apart and unique from the volunteer Folsom Lake State Recreation Area Mounted Assistant Unit. As a result, the California Conservation of Trails was incorporated in August 2002, and is a nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation, organized and operated exclusively for charitable purposes within the meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. |
