Our Story
Blue Sky Trails Origins
Time spent in nature is time best spent. This is particularly the case when Craig Meinicke thinks back to the freedoms he had as a child on a farm and the bonds he and his own family have formed spending time in nature.
Qualifications in environmental science, a background in civil asset management, and in-depth knowledge and skills in trail design and development led to him creating create Blue Sky Trails with a focus on:
The right trails
In the right place
For the right reasons
With the right systems
Needless to say when we are not delivering exceptional trail experiences, we are out experiencing trails ourselves. Whilst our roots are in mountain biking we all enjoy connecting to nature, walking, riding, or hiking!
We are a Business for Good
We understand that trails do more than simply connect people to nature—they are a pathway to well-being, resilience, and transformation. That’s why we dedicate a percentage of our revenue to meaningful initiatives that make a difference.
We’re proud to support Trek2Health, an organisation that uses evidence-based, trail-based programs to enhance resilience and improve mental health outcomes for frontline workers facing tough challenges.
Many of our staff choose to give in their own way volunteering into trail care groups helping to maintain and sustain their local trail networks.
