NEMBA's Trail Care Programs
Here are a few of the things that we've done to help maintain the trails. The funny thing about working the trails is that it's pretty addicting. Not only is it a lot of fun spending a few hours getting dirty and doing some good, but you'll never walk or ride a trail again without realizing all that goes into designing a sustainable trail. It's both a science and an art!  Find a Trail Care Event Near You!
