Trail Day March 24

 

Public trail days are back on the Shore! Sunday, March 24th the NSMBA will be running a public maintenance day as part of the Bridle Path Revitalization project.

The project, which combines the NSMBA’s on-the-ground expertise with grant funding from MEC, stands to significantly improve this popular artery in the Lower Seymour network. Many Hands Make Light Work. Come on out and let the shovels do the talking.

 

Bridle Path Revitalization

Bridle Path Revitalization

The NSMBA is proud to announce the Bridle Path Revitalization Project.  Thanks to grant funding from Mountain Equipment Co-op, the Bridle Path will be receiving a significant make-over during February, March and April in 2013.  The goal of the project is to revitalize the trail targeting areas where significant user ship has negatively impacted the trail bed. Drainage issues will be alleviated and impact on tree root systems will be rectified.  Aged structures will be removed and narrow bridges replaced.  The goal is to improve the user experience for hikers, dog walkers, bikers and runners for the betterment of the greater community.  One of the most heavily used arterial accesses on Seymour, the work is aimed at improving long term sustainability on the 4.2km trail.

The efforts are led by Lead Builder Matt Preston, who holds a long history working on Bridle.  The team of NSMBA builders who will take on this significant task along with Preston includes Peter O'Lochlann, Chris Barker, Earl Allen and Dan Lui.  Project management will be overseen by NSMBA Program Manager Mark Wood.  "This is a project that asserts our position as stewards of the trails, not just for mountain bikers, but for the community at large."  says Wood.
