IMBA Canada's Trail Care Crew is coming to Wolfville to do a trails workshop - August 6, 2010. They will also be at Gorefest on August 7.
Chad and Deanne Lazaruk of the International Mountain Bicycling Association ( IMBA) will be in Wolfville for a Trailbuilding School with the Annapolis Valley Mountain Bike Association. The Crew teaches “sustainable” trail building, which means building trails that last a long time and require minimal maintenance. This helps reduce trail damage, protects the environment, and enhances visitor enjoyment. We need to ensure that we get a good turnout to this event so do what you have to to make it happen. This is the Trail Care Crew's first time in the valley and we don't want it to be the last.
