Trail Maintenance - Trails need care, repair, and planning. Do your part. See the "20 -20 - 20" rule. Erosion, use, and abuse cause damage that needs to be fixed so you can ride better, safer trails that will be here in the future when you will still want to ride them.
Trail Mapping - The MAP OF HARTLAND; is great but we are updating it, adding in more trail intersection numbers, new trails and improving its accuracy. We are also working on mapping MILLSTREAM (C.1) largely to help preserve accesss to trails that are being developed commercially. Any help is useful. No experience necesssary. Want to map your favourite area? Contact JIM RICHARDSON
Fund Raising - We can use "many hands to make light work". Pick a project or help out generally. Find a sponsor, advertise your business in our newsletter or web page. We have fun events. The last dance was a huge success and a GAS! Contact SIMBS , or come to our monthly board meeting at 7:30, the first Monday of the every month. Check the calendar of events on home page for address and date.
