Foster A Trail
Take care of the trails you love to ride!
Don’t have time to do trail work? Well, here is a way to can chip in, all while doing your ride. Simply pick a trail, any trail, and commit to keeping it beautiful, all at your convenience. This will be amazingly helpful.
A trail adoption center will be on the club website, and you will be listed as keeper of the trail. After riding, let your Trail Boss know what you accomplished. The boss can do a once over and credit your hours. Then, you can earn really cool swag for being part of this program. Sign up now so that you get the trail of your choice.
Where to start?
1 - Get to know the Guidelines -
-
Pack a pair of hand clippers in your gear.
-
When you get slapped in the face with a stray green something, stop and clip it. Remember to throw it off the trail.
-
Will those small branches on the trail find their way into somebody’s derailleur? Take a second to stop and clear the trail of small debris that might possibly ruin somebody else’s ride.
-
Do not pass by somebody else’s thoughtless or careless litter. Stop and pick it up. Snap a picture to share that you took a moment to help keep our trails clean. We can put you on our FB page. You will be famous.
2 - Get to know the Rules -
-
NO power tools. Human powered tools only. If it does not fit in your backpack, it is not appropriate.
-
Do not remove trees. We do not want you to hurt yourself, and it may have been left on the trail on purpose (we call them rollover features). If it does not look like it should be there, snap a picture and send it to the Trail Boss. The trail crew can then act if necessary.
