Limiting Mountain Bike Weed Dispersal Into Vulnerable Bushland

This Green Army project aims to protect the natural values of a continuously linked, protected native forest zone being developed into tracks and trails by the Cradle Coast Mountain Bike Club (CCMBC). The Green Army will build a Mountain Bike Wash down Station at CCMBC Base and implement weed control to stop incursion into the surrounding bushland areas. The ultimate plan is for the trail system to extend into the Dial Range. A season of weed control and the commencement of an awareness raising program about weed dispersal will reduce the incidence of weed incursion by instilling a message of user responsibility to protect the environment they enjoy riding in through interpretive/instructive signs and gear hygiene promotion.
