Trail Building for REI and IMBA

On Saturday our club (Jersey Action Riders) were presented with a trail
stewardship award from IMBA and REI. They gave us some tools and other
stuff and REI staff from their two local stores will join us in trail
maintenance and MTB promotions. They were very friendly and excited to
be a part of it, as were we. Here's a pic. That's me and my pseudo
trail dog, Phoebe (my miniature schnauzers would never sit still for a
photo).

Did you apply or what? We are just getting a trail oriented mtb group
together here, and that would be something cool to get. I know the mgr of
the local REI, would that help?http://www.cet.com/~pennys/fttrc/fttrc.htm
Our first meeting is in January.

Yes. First you have to be an IMBA affiliate club. There is a charge
for that. Then you apply, but it is a good idea to get a letter of
reccomendation from your local REI. It's all worth it. Those tools are
very expensive.

Becoming an IMBA affiliated club will also give you the opportunity to
have the Subaru Trail Care Crew spend a weekend teaching the club and
helping build trails for free.

Good luck!

We've already paid our dues, I know about that part, duh. ;-) The crew is
coming to Mt Spokane St. Park this spring. Do you know if you have to have
your 501-3C in place to apply /recieve that grant? We are still getting
everything together...

No, you do not need the non-profit status for that. JAR has not applied
for NP yet.

You'll enjoy the trail building school. It's very informative and the
TC crew are great people.

I did trail school about 5 years ago - it will be fun to do it again ,and
to have a organization to utilize the learning.
