Dirty Work
Digging In and Keeping Trails Open
Dirt biking has been growing in popularity for quite some time now. This means there are more folks are on the trails - more than ever before. Unfortunately, the paid workforce supporting these trail systems hasn’t grown commensurate to the sport’s popularity and trail utilization.

The NMA Trail Maintenance Workforce
The NMA Trail Maintenance Workforce is a selfish volunteer program – the sole mission is to self promote the sport through instilling a sense of trail ownership among dirt bikers in Washington State. This selfishness inherently benefits the environment, land managers and the preservation of off-road motorcycling.
Trail maintenance work parties are a great way to learn about new places to ride. You also gain knowledge on trail design and what riders can do to increase trail longevity. It’s also a great way to meet new friends with a mutual passion for dirt biking.
Walker Valley Recurring Work Parties
The Skagit MC in cooperation with the DNR have regularly scheduled work parties on the second Saturday of every month. Volunteer sign-ups begin around 9:00AM in the parking area. Some trail tools will be available, but if you have your own such as shovels, picks, McLeod’s or steel garden rakes, please bring them. Be sure to bring your own gloves, raingear, lunch, water, etc.
