News

The NSMBA Trail Crew have been hard at it all summer to make our trails the best they can be. As of late, Pangor has seen a ton of new wood, Digger is hard at it on Ladies Only and if we add to that the recent work on Upper Oilcan, Pingu, Corkscrew, Pennzoil and 7th Secret things are really coming together. As promised at the Spring Town Hall meeting, thanks to the hard work in our community by the many builders and our TAP sponsors, we are now adding some bells & whistles to many trails now that most of the heavy lifting has been done. Look for the trail crew to continue work on Crinkum Crankum to replace expired structures later this month. A big thanks to Digger, Pat Podolski, Sean Gerke and our summer student Lea Zhecheva for taking on the lion's share of the new woodwork. TAP is underway again with the return of moisture. Continued efforts of our TAP build leaders keep the momentum going into the Fall and of course, the NSMBA recognizes and supports those who wish to work independently on trails with Land Manager permission.

Our Family & Youth Day on Empress Bypass saw a great turnout!

On Common Ground

Oct 9, 2015

The North Shore Mountains provide a truly unique opportunity for the residents of the Lower Mainland. Whether you walk out your door in Lynn Valley or drive over a bridge, we have access to mountains like no other metropolitan area.

The North Shore Mountains provide a place to be in nature and enjoy being outdoors for hikers, walkers, runners and riders. We must all remember how fortunate we are for this opportunity. We must strive to care and respect the environment and we must foster a community that is built on the principle of respect for all user groups.

This month we add a section to the NSMBA 101 about trails signage for DNV managed lands. The intent is to provide information in order to foster mutual respect for all.

Much work has been completed over the past 6 months, building upon the years prior to bring many trails to a sustainable standard.

Spring Trail Update

May 12, 2015

TAP 2015 is in full swing and work has begun on nearly 30 different trails on Fromme & Seymour. With nearly 20 lead builders and 30 adopters, the program is stronger than ever. As we catch up on deferred maintenance, the window of neglect is slowly closing giving us the opportunity to put the icing on the cake on many trails. 2015 is shaping up to be our best year yet! Thank you to all of you who are part of the efforts.

Team Arc'teryx continue their improvements on Dreamweaver as part of TAP, now into year 4.
