Why are memberships so important?
Every member helps contribute to the maintenance and upkeep of the valley trails.
After the heavy rains and floods in November 2024, FatTracks had to bring in a heavy-duty contractor to clear the massive pine tree at 14th Ave on your way from Dormy to Dodd’s farm. They also cleared the weir at Dodds Farm. Thanks so much to the clearing team for their fantastic work!
Repair work is still taking place, but we are confident that the trails will be in tip-top shape again in 2025 thanks to the support of our members.
