Get involved
TRAIL MAINTENANCE & development

Dig Days, Working Bees & Planting Days There's several ways to get involved in helping keep our tracks in good condition and make improvements. Regular working bees and dig days are usually held on a Saturday morning - keep an eye on our Facebook page for notification of dates or join our text list by texting James on 0274 800 879. All members are notified by email. Planting days are usually held in the winter months and are a great way to get the wider community involved. To date we've put more than 7000 natives in the ground in the riverside and Skills Park area. In your own time We understand that not everyone can make Saturday mornings and we are lucky enough to have members that spend much of their own time helping out. There is always something to be done! Cutting up fallen trees, pruning, sweeping, weed eating and spraying are all things that can be done any time. Please contact James 027 480 0879 if you have any questions or need access to locked gates. If you are wanting to make any changes to the track, such as building a berm, structure or jump please get in touch with the club first, we may even be able to help you out with materials you need! Any changes do need to meet the requirements of the landowners - we can let you know what these are and help avoid any work being undone. |
