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.

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.
