NSMBA Presents TAP at IMBA World Summit

NSMBA Presents TAP at IMBA World Summit

On October 11th, the NSMBA presented the North Shore Trail Adoption Plan to an International Delegation at the IMBA World Summit.  A total of 350 delegates from around the world joined together to share ideas towards sustainable solutions for the sport.  Mathew Bond, NSMBA President, and Mark Wood, NSMBA Program Manager, presented our story of success here on the Shore.  The TAP program has grown exponentially in the past two years, now involving 23 Adopters who are doing major restorative projects on 19 trails.  "Today we represent not just the NSMBA, but the hundreds of volunteers who are driving TAP forward," said Wood when addressing the delegation.

The Summit also provided an opportunity for the NSMBA to learn from other groups and build upon their current successes.  "We need to take things to the next level," says Bond.  Attending sessions on Relationship Building with Land Managers, Coalition Development, Sustainable Building, Community Involvement and many other significant and pertinent topics, the NSMBA has once again reinvested in itself to continue building on the already significant momentum within the organization.

The NSMBA would like to thank Chad & Deanne Lazuruk, IMBA Canada Trail Care crew for their support to drive the NSMBA to present at the Summit.  The NSMBA would also like to thank IMBA Canada for their continued support and all of the volunteers and supporters who make TAP happen.

 

2012 TAP Celebration

2012 TAP Celebration

 
On Sept 22nd, builders and adopters got together to celebrate our accomplishments this year with the Trail Adoption Plan.
It was a perfect evening for late September.  Tiki torches were burning on Ryders rooftop patio and the music was pumping!
Tribes gathered round the fire pit, cold beers were cracked and stories shared under the stars.
The big highlight of the evening were the videos created to tell our tale.
Keep checking the NSMBA Vimeo site as we slowly upload the videos.
You can find all of the photos of the TAP Party here.  Thank you to Morgan Taylor from nsmb.com for snapping photos.
 
 
There are many people to thank for the efforts to make TAP such a success.  
For all of you who have contributed in some way, you deserve thanks for making the Shore a better place.
 

Please read on for photos and the rest of the story…
