When you hear “volunteer with NWTA,” you might picture a shovel and a day spent moving dirt.

That’s definitely part of it. But it’s far from the only way to get involved. NWTA is powered by people like you who are willing to contribute their time, skills, experience, and energy.

NWTA supported the City of Sandy at their annual kids' cyclocross event, where 80 kids got to experience bikes on dirt! Kids as young as 2 took to the course at Liepold Farms in Boring on Sunday, September 13.

Who actually decides where a trail can be built?

It’s more than looking at a hillside and saying, “Let’s build a rad trail there!”

NWTA works across a patchwork of public and private lands. Land managers ultimately have authority over what happens on the land they manage or own

[NW Trail Alliance @NWTrailAlliance]

Tomorrow's weather and trail conditions will be bliss ...

The question is, where are you riding?

[NW Trail Alliance @NWTrailAlliance]

A big shoutout and THANK YOU to the Hood River Rotary for investing in trails, skills, and our riding community.

Their $1,500 contribution to the EasyCLIMB Skills Area in Cascade Locks has helped NWTA volunteers continue expanding the wooden skills features.

Dig season is coming.

As we ramp up for another season of trail work, we want to hear from you ...

What’s ONE nonnegotiable tool, piece of gear, or item of clothing you MUST get before this dig season?

Drop yours in the comments.
