IMBA Trail Solutions is in town working on the first official phase of the Sustainable Trails Initiative, a huge project managed by the Friends of the Wissahickon.
Below are the group volunteer dates where there will be a small force of people working on specific projects and we will have additional provisions available, like food and drinks. However, please don’t hesitate to stop by the job site anytime while riding or walking or finishing work or whatever and talk to and possibly work with the IMBA guys. Offer to help them and if there are some things that need to be done, they will accept your offer. Either way you will meet and chat with some very well rounded individuals who have built and rode on trails all over this country. You’ll also show these guys how supportive we are here in the city of brotherly love. Come help out anytime on the following dates, but we’ll be there from 9 am to 2 pm:
July 20 (Sunday)
July 26 (PMBA Trail Day!)
August 2
August 17 (Sunday)
August 23 (PMBA Trail Day!)
The project starts at Bells Mill Rd. next to the creek on the East side of park. (There is a map link on our website). Please keep in mind that due to the complexity of the job scope, if you plan to come on a non-group day that you may need to travel down the worksite to locate the crew as there is no telling exactly where the focus of work will be at any given time.
This Trail project is about one-mile in length on the Orange trail between Bell's Mill Road and the Thomas Mill Road Covered Bridge on the Chestnut Hill side of the park. Believe me when I tell you that this new trail WILL BE SWEET!
