Volunteers Needed for Whitefish Trail Youth Bike Patrol

WLP office
Description:
Whitefish Legacy Partners in unveiling a new Whitefish Trail Youth Bike Patrol program aimed at getting youth engaged as volunteers on the Whitefish Trail.

The goal of the Whitefish Trail Bile Patrol is to offer a regular presence on the trail system and to provide visitor assistance. New for 2016, the WT Youth Bike Patrol will provide an avenue for youth in the community to be mentored by experienced members of WT Patrol. Parents are also encouraged to volunteer with their child to form a patrol team. Youth Bike Patrol must be 14 years to mentor with a current member of the WT Bike Patrol or 12 year to patrol with a parent.

Members of Youth Bike Patrol are encouraged to perform two patrol rides per month during the summer. All members of Youth Bike Patrol will be trained in bike maintenance, CPR, and first-aid. Annual training for all bike patrol, including youth, is scheduled for May 3rd at 6:00 PM at the WLP office, 525 Railway St, Suite 206, Whitefish, MT 59937.

The Whitefish Trail is the anchor project of Whitefish Legacy Partners and the result of collaborative partnerships providing public access and recreation while protecting clean water, thriving forests, and prime wildlife habitat on open lands located in the urban interface of Whitefish Montana. To date, Whitefish Legacy Partners and City of Whitefish have established over 36 miles of a recreational trail system accessed by ten trailheads. The Whitefish Trail continues to pioneer conservation, education and recreation initiatives, with strategic partners, volunteers, and financial support from the community.
