Trail Care

OUR PROUD HISTORY OF TRAIL CARE

Since day one, RATS Cycling Club has been at the forefront of building and maintaining legal mountain bike trails across Brisbane’s southside bushland. We’re proud to work in close partnership with Logan City Council, Redland City Council and the Department of Environment and Resource Management. Together with their operational teams, we help care for the Koala Bushland Coordinated Conservation Area — a significant natural habitat with outstanding conservation value.

Trail care is incredibly rewarding. Whether you’re shaping a new berm or clearing drains after rain, it feels great knowing you’re contributing to safe, sustainable trails and learning more about land management along the way. Land managers also benefit from the skills and energy of motivated volunteers, and well-maintained trails help discourage illegal and damaging activity. Ultimately, we’re all working toward the same goal: a network of well-built, sustainable trails that protect the natural environment and can be enjoyed for generations.

Members and non-members are always welcome at our scheduled trail care days. To stay up to date on upcoming sessions and trail developments, follow RATS on Facebook.

TRAIL CARE DONATIONS

The best way to support trail care is by volunteering your time at a trail day — nothing beats hands-on help. If you’d like to contribute financially instead, you can donate Trail Karma to the RATS on Trailforks. Your donation helps us buy equipment, put on BBQs at trail care days, and engage professional trail builders when needed.
