Trail Adoption Plan
2012 - Restore the Shore continues...
2011 was an incredible year with the inception of the Trail Adoption Plan. Over 40 trail days and 4400 hours were put into 9 trails on Seymour and in Lynn Valley by 11 Trail Adopters.
2012 promises to be twice the capacity as the revitalization of the Shore continues with 21 Adopters and 18 trails. The NSMBA would like to thank the Trail Adopters for 2012, including the full returning roster of 2011 Adopters. Stepping up, taking action and making a difference, one shovel full at a time.
TAP wouldn't be possible without the agreement and continued support of the following North Shore Land Managers: District of North Vancouver, Metro Vancouver and BC Parks. We're working together towards shared solutions.
The NSMBA would like to thank the Builder's who led the efforts last year and now welcome a doubling of the numbers for this coming season to a total of 15 TAP Trail Builder's.
Last but not least, the NSMBA wishes to thank You. If you were a volunteer on a trail day past or if you plan on volunteering this year and making a difference, then in advance, we thank you. Many hands make light work.
The future looks good.

TAP 2011
Many of the trails on the North Shore were built over a decade ago. Our wet winters and high number of trail users have taken their toll. We are embarking on a revitalization plan to improve the current state of the trails. New, sustainable lines will replace unsustainable sections, decaying structures will be replaced or removed, and erosion undone.
Many positive projects are in the imminent future to return the Shore to its legendary status. Starting with the Trail Adoption Plan.
As Stewards of the Trails, it’s up to all of us.
We invite you to join us by playing a key role in this era of renewal. The Trail Adoption Plan partners your organization with an NSMBA Trail Maintainer to revitalize an adopted trail.
Applications for our 2011 Trail Adopters are now closed.
