Adopt-A-Trail Program

EMBA started the Adopt-A-Trail program in 2010, in affiliation with the City of Edmonton.

We work with our participating members to care for Edmonton’s singletrack trails.  EMBA along with each participating member, organize and host Trail Days throughout the season while providing guidance, expertise, and resources to complete the trail work.

In 2016 we hosted 23 Trail Days with 219 Volunteers logging over 820 hours of trail care.  Trail quality continues to improve since this program began.

In 2017 we hosted 26 Trail Days with 380 Volunteers logging over 1223 hours on 38 km of Edmontons Trails. We began Winter Trail Trimming days, hosting 4 in the first 3 months.

In 2018 we hosted 26 Trail Days with 294 Volunteers logging over 718 hours on 36 km of Edmontons Trails.

In 2019 we hosted 30 Trail Days with 406 Volunteers logging over 994 hours on 57 km of Edmontons Trails. We also removed 40 trees that had deadfallen over trails
