Through contractual agreements with landowners, Middle Mountain Interpretive Hikes has created learning opportunities within the Sutter Buttes for thousands of people, typically as guided hikes for the public or as school class outings. Carefully controlled access allows visitors to have high quality experiences while protecting the land itself. Board members, volunteers, and trained guides also engage in outreach, spreading the message of this special place to those who have not yet visited the interior of the range.
