Just spreading the word....
We are pleased to announce that Bowling Green KyMBA has been awarded a grant to host the IMBA Trail Care Crew from July 14th to July 17th at Nolin Lake State Park! This expert team of trail builders will join the Bowling Green Kentucky Mountain Bike Association (KyMBA) to teach sustainable trail building at Brier Creek Recreation Area of Nolin Lake. The Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew will be at Nolin Lake to talk trails, teach people proper trail building technique and spend quality time digging in the dirt. The visit is one of about 70 stops on the 2011 schedule. Education sessions are free and open to the public. We will send out more details about the visit in the near future or you can look for updates on the KyMBA website.
The award-winning Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew program includes two full-time, professional teams of trail experts who travel North America year-round, leading IMBA Trail Building Schools, meeting with government officials and land managers and working with IMBA-affiliated groups to improve local mountain biking opportunities. Since its debut in 1997, the program has inspired great volunteer trail work across the U.S. and abroad—a big help to government agencies and land managers who have limited funding for trail construction and upkeep. As a direct result, there are now thousands of new and improved trails in all 50 states, Canada, Mexico and several European countries.
The Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew will devote their time and experience to Nolin Lake State Park. At Trail Building School, you will learn in classroom instruction how to build lasting trails that require minimal maintenance, and then apply your new knowledge by building trail features for existing trails that reduce trail damage, protect the environment and enhance visitor enjoyment. Working side by side with land managers, and fellow outdoor enthusiasts, you will see how you can positively impact our community. Be a part of what makes KyMBA unique—roll up your sleeves and come get dirty with us.
