2013 was an incredible year for the NSMBA and the North Shore trails.  In total, the NSMBA now maintains 62.8km of trail on Fromme, Seymour and Seymour Valley.  This work is made possible through permission from the Land Managers and support from our sponsors who are listed on the footer of our website, including our 27 Trail Adopters.  The NSMBA would like to offer our sincere thanks to our sponsors for their gracious support.
 
Here is a summary of the numbers of people involved and the amount of work accomplished in 2013:
 
Trail Adoption Plan: 647 volunteers from 27 Community organizations completed 66 TAP trail days in 2013, contributing 4137 hours of work on 19 trails 
Builders Academy: 60 volunteers graduated from the Academy in 2013 and conducted over 300 hours of specialized trail care projects.
Public Trail Days: The NSMBA held 8 trail days in 2013 in which 150+ volunteers conducted over 900 hours of trail work.

2013 North Shore Kick Ass Awards

 

2013 was an incredible year on the Shore!  

The work accomplished was led by an army of people out in the field, as well as behind the scenes greasing the cogs.  There are a huge number of people to recognize and thank for your efforts.  For those of you who contributed in any way this year, a big thank you is in order.  

There were some exemplary contributers this year.  People who were out at every event, every trail day, going above & beyond to make things happen.  No matter how much was asked, the answer was always yes.  And for those who rose above the challenges and went beyond the call of duty, we recognize your efforts with the first ever, annual North Shore Kick Ass awards.  

The 2013 Kick Ass Awards recipients are:

Mathew Bond
Alaia Alsharif
Carl Moriarty
