Here’s a good cause most people have perhaps not heard about: bicyclists registering for the STHIL Tour Des Trees in Oregon will be benefitting the Tree Research and Education Endowment (TREE) fund.
“Profiled in the travel section of Forbes and on CNN, the STIHL Tour des Trees offers riders a unique opportunity to see the world from their bikes while contributing to tree research and education,” says a press release.
This year, cyclists will be challenged with a 585-mile loop through Oregon , a “life list” ride that will showcase the region’s iconic scenery and diverse eco-zones.
The event, which is described as America ’s largest fundraiser for tree research, is scheduled to roll through Oregon Aug. 5 to Aug. 11.
