“Up the road a piece from the headquarters is the Trek Trails: a 300-acre bike paradise with 28 miles of pristine midwest single track. Overlooking it all is The Lodge, the place we gather, regroup, and share more than a few laughs. And maybe a few beers, too.”
–Trek website description
Trek staff wanted a place to gather…we created a landscape where plants, pollinators, and other wildlife could gather as well. Working closely with landscape designer Marcy Huffaker, EC3 helped restore native prairie to the “Off Road Bicycle Testing Area,” a natural mountain bike circuit on the Trek corporate campus in Waterloo, Wisconsin.
At the top of the Bicycle Testing Area lies “The Lodge,” a rustic gathering place for Trek employees and guests where more formal native landscaping transitions into the wild prairie of the bike trails.
