A big thanks to all of you who helped at our Potato Creek workday on Sunday. We completed filling in a large wet section in the second half of the trail. Everyone's time is greatly appreciated. Potato Creek Park management is watching NIMBA closely to see how we maintain the trail in our first full year of operation. In order for a trail expansion to be considered by the DNR, we must maintain what we already have. It is really important that we get the maintenance done in a timely manner. Good turnouts on workdays make this possible. We need your support on workdays, please come and participate. We will be scheduling some more soon, watch the website for details.
For those of you who may be new to our website and NIMBA, I want to let you know that we are totally responsible for all the maintenance at Rum Village and Potato Creek. Our agreement with the South Bend Parks Department and the DNR is to build and maintain the trails on the land they allow us to use. NIMBA is responsible for all the maintenance and signage. Active members and friends of NIMBA literally keep these trails open, the South Bend Parks Dept and the DNR do not work on the trail.
Everyone pitching in to help really makes the work easier. It really is true when we say: "without you, these trails would not be possible!"
Thanks for your continued support.
