The following files are examples of some of the trails proposals which have been developed by IMBC member clubs for various trail projects that they have taken part in. These files are made available here for download to use as templates should you have a trails project in your own area which you would like to get started on. Additionally, some powerpoint presentations on proper trail design and trailcare techniques are also made available here for download. These presentations are used by IMBA and IMBC member clubs for training and education of user groups and land managers in the proper techniques for designing, building, and maintaining sustainable multi-use and single-use singletrack trail systems.
