TD Friends of the Environment Foundation has granted  $5000 to the NSMBA for  to build volunteer capacity and support the Trail Adoption Plan.  The funds will be used to support builders & purchase supplies in what is the largest mountain biking restoration project ever undertaken on the North Shore as 21 Trail Adopters set their sites on Fromme.  The NSMBA would like to thank TD for their support and recognition of the importance of the program that includes restoration of the forest through the planting of indigenous species when decommissioning irreconcilable sections of trail that are rerouted to lessen environmental impact and increase sustainability.

Since 1990, TD Friends of the Environment Foundation (TD FEF) has provided more than $57 million in support to over 20,000 grassroots environmental projects in communities like yours.

From schoolyard naturalization and community gardens to tree plantings and environmental education, TD FEF is proud to provide much-needed funding to help sustain local environmental projects.

TAP 2012 

Restore the Shore

2011 was an incredible year with the inception of the Trail Adoption Plan.  Over 40 trail days and 4400 hours were put into 9 trails on Seymour and in Lynn Valley by 11 Trail Adopters. 

2012 promises to be twice the capacity as the revitalization of the Shore continues with 21 Adopters and 18 trails. 

The future looks good.
