The SWMTBC just won a national award in Outer Edge Magazine as the best community based group. These volunteers have worked hard with DEC over the last couple of years to get legal sustainable MTB trails open in the Mt Lennard National Park in the Fergerson Valley area. I have photos of the magazine and the award if you would like.
