West Michigan Mountain Biking Alliance (WMMBA)

Volunteers Needed - Saturday 5/23

We are looking for a few volunteers on Saturday to help with our trail counter project. This is simple observation work recording the number of cyclists / hikers / runners that pass by a trail counter. It is an important step in validating the counters to ensure high quality results.

The WMMBA is incredibly fortunate to have a dedicated group of volunteers supporting trail maintenance across all 17 trail systems. WMMBA Trail Coordinators and Trail Adopters are critically important to keeping trails safe, sustainable, and fun to ride.

These volunteers do far more than basic maintenance. They help identify and solve trail issues, support improvement projects, coordinate volunteer efforts, monitor trail conditions, organize events and play a huge role in making our trail systems awesome places to ride, run, hike, and explore. Their work directly impacts the long-term sustainability and quality of trails across West Michigan.

A special thank you to the new volunteers stepping up this year to fill these roles:
Jeff Hill, Steve Gray, Gary Albrecht, the sons of Penny Vandenhout, Team Switchback, Shane Wiersma, Rogue Racing, and Armen Kassouni.

Your willingness to give back makes a real difference and helps strengthen the entire trail community.

We still have multiple open Trail Coordinator and Trail Adopter positions available. If you are interested in learning more about how you can help support local trails, email [email protected]

Thank you to all of the volunteers that made yesterday's trail day at Merrell Trail (WMMBA) a success!
