Quick update, text from Ben, one of our leaders: This past Saturday morning a group of eighteen MTB trail advocates volunteered at Big Willow Park, removing invasive buckthorn. Our efforts are clearing the way for the growth of native species and making Big Willow a better place for all users! This is just the latest example of the engagement by the local biking community and demonstrates how proposed MTB trails gives more local outdoor enthusiasts a reason to care for our city parks. City of Minnetonka's Natural Resources staff is delighted with this community engagement, which could be transformative in our city’s restoration efforts.
The 'fruits' of our efforts:

It was great mental therapy to get together with people advocating the new trails, and do something very positive for a park I grew up in.
