Trails

The NSMBA is all about the trails. The association runs a number of programs aimed at ensuring that the trails of the Shore exist for all to enjoy forever.

Trail Adoption Plan

Introduced in 2011, the Trail Adoption Plan pairs a Trail Adopter, who mobilises volunteers, and runs trail maintenance days with a Trail Maintainer, who provides design guidance, trail maintenance expertise, and leads the efforts of the Adopter on all trail days. Collectively, the Adopter and Maintainer work with the NSMBA to develop a vision of a trail based on environmental sustainability.

Trail Days

Public Trail Days are probably one of the most widely recognised activities of the NSMBA. All volunteers are welcome on these days -- you provide the effort and we provide work plans, experienced trail maintainers to organise people, tools, food, and little fun. These days are hard work but people go away knowing that they've done a good thing for the trails. This is how many an aspiring trail maintainers get their start! Find out when the next Trail Day is.
