The walking track we built for Nelson City Council is now open! The construction was a good challenge on a very steep and narrow site but it turned out great with help from Sjoerd and the team at Simon Murray Builders to build the steps.
It makes a good shorter loop with Centre of New Zealand tracks and has nice views over the city and the Nelson Haven estuary.

Easy Trail Services has a job opportunity available working restoring the native forest that surrounds the mountain bike tracks in the Brook Stream and Maitai River catchments.
This work is part of Project Mahitahi, the collaborative effort to restore the ecosystem of the Maitai/Mahitahi Valley. Encouraging the regeneration of native forest will also shade the tracks, providing a better rider experience and make trails more sustainable by reducing surface wear and long term maintenance.
The ideal candidate will have a keen interest in conservation and be self-motivated to work in scrub and bush controlling plant pest species like Old Man’s Beard and wilding pines.
For more information contact [email protected] for a full role description.

Before and after. Dealt to a few fallen trees yesterday. Remember to report fallen trees or track issues on Trailforks, ideally with a photo and location so we can get onto them quickly! @ Nelson, New Zealand

Check out this video Damian Stones has put together of the pump track build we completed for Ross School back in November. Damian, James Horan and I lost a decent amount of sweat building the track and we were stoked with the final result. It's a shame it's not closer to Nelson!
