REI Brookfield Volunteer Service Project: 2005 Trail Building
Southern Kettle Moraine State Forest Recreational Equipment Inc. (REI), The Wisconsin Off-Road Bicycling Association (WORBA), and the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) invite all mountain bikers and trail users to take part in this wonderful volunteer service project.
Our focus will be on building two new miles of additional connecter trail beginning work at Young Road heading north. Due to safety concerns, we are creating a brand new one-way trail between John Muir and Emma Carlin, designed by Rich Edwards from the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA). The new trail will eliminate two-way traffic, be very challenging and environmentally sustainable, eliminating the need for constant trail maintenance.
Participants will meet at the John Muir trailhead. Long pants and gloves are recommended. Tools will be provided. Participants will receive a free cool t-shirt, water bottle, lunch and more. The cookout will take place after work is completed.
Date: Saturday, June 18th, 2005
Time: 9 AM- 12 PM followed by lunch.
Contact: Register with Nick Irish at (262) 783-6150 or via e-mail
Volunteer Trail Workdays Scheduled
Southern Kettle Moraine State Forest (March 5, 2005) The Wisconsin Off-Road Bicycling Association (WORBA) and the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) invite all mountain bikers and trail users to take part in volunteer trail work days.
Our focus will be on the connector trail system, currently a two-way, five mile trail between John Muir and Emma Carlin. Due to safety concerns, we are creating a brand new one-way trail, designed by Rich Edwards from the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA). The new trail will eliminate two-way traffic, be very challenging and environmentally sustainable, eliminating the need for constant trail maintenance.
Tools will be provided; however, volunteers are encouraged to bring their own work gloves and water. If you have any questions, or want more information, call Mike Bettinger (LaGrange General Store), at (262) 495-8600, or James Wamser at (262) 317-8272 (wamser@worba.org)
We continue to improve the trail system by applying skills and techniques learned from the IMBA Trail Care Crew, along with the book Building Better Trails, a 72-page trailbuilding manual. Drawing on the Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crews experience building and maintaining trails around the globe, Building Better Trails gives step-by-step instructions for trail layout, construction and maintenance. This book also provides trailbuilding resources, and includes a section on building technical, challenging trails that are environmentally sustainable.
