The Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crews have traveled the world, sharing their trailbuilding expertise with thousands of volunteers, land managers and trail advocates. As a direct result, there are now newer, longer and more environmentally sustainable trails in all fifty states, Canada, Mexico, and several European countries. That's a pretty impressive record.
The Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew is coming to your area soon to work with mountain bikers and other members of the community. This exciting program makes for a newsworthy story for a number of reasons: the fascinating people involved, cooperative nature of the program, the great volunteer connection and excellent photo opportunities.
Sponsored by Subaru of America and directed by the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA), the Trail Care Crew works with IMBA-affiliated mountain bike clubs, land managers, and other trail user groups to build new trails, maintain and restore existing trails, and solve trail management challenges. The Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crews improve trail conditions and trail experiences for everyone. The program is now in its eighth season.
IMBA encourages you to profile the Trail Care Crew visit in your "What's Happening This Weekend" section or even run a feature article on the Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew. There are many angles on this unique program, including:
- "International Organization Works with Local Bike Group on Trails"
- "Road Trip: Life on the Road with the IMBA Trail Care Crew"
- "The Best Places to Ride: A Unique Perspective from the IMBA Trail Care Crew"
- "Bridging the Divide: Local Mountain Bikers and International Trail Experts Work to Build Trails for Everyone"
- "Local Volunteers and International Experts Build Trails in Anytown, USA"
Please don't hesitate to contact either of the crews or myself at IMBA for more information on any facet of the Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew program. For IMBA logos, please visit: http://imba.com/resources/logos/
