FAMB was accepted into the 2020 Great Fish Community Challenge, a community fundraising drive running July 30-September 18, 2020, to help us raise funds for our 2021 Flathead Trail Crew's trail maintenance work on the trails you ride valley-wide. FAMB will receive matching funds (on a percentage basis - last year it was 49%) on donations totaling up to $20,000, so this is a great chance to maximize your trail maintenance impact. Here are just a few of the things FAMB will accomplish with your donation:

  • Hire a paid, professional trail maintenance crew (our Flathead Trail Crew) in 2021 for a second year running to clear blowdown, cut back brush in trail corridors, and improve/repair trail tread on trails throughout the Flathead.
  • Fund work on USFS, DNRC, and city/county-run trails, many of which can suffer from dramatic underfunding of ongoing maintenance.
  • Trail maintenance on multi-use trails that are chosen because they are especially favored by mountain bikers.
  • As our valley grows and more and more people impact our trails, help us keep up with maintenance that is critical to the environment (to prevent erosion) and to everyone's continued enjoyment of our amazing selection of trail networks.
  • We'll do our best to get your favorite trails cleared of blowdown as early as we can.
  • Expand mountain biking opportunities in the Flathead by working to bring high-potential trails not currently used extensively by mountain bikers, due to their current poor condition, into safe, rideable shape through clearing, brush cutting, and tread work.
  • Pay for payroll costs that we incur as we interface with USFS trails and recreation managers in the Tally Lake, Swan Lake, and Hungry Horse/Glacier View Ranger Districts, and with the DNRC and other land managers and trail network partners. This is how we get permission to work on these lands we don't own - the process is extensive and requires a ton of planning, documentation and communication.  
  • Fund the purchase of trail maintenance and construction equipment. Trail work is tough on tools!!

Youth Clinic Sponsorship Opportunities

FAMB's Youth Clinics are designed to teach safe riding and responsible trail use and develop healthy social connections and lifetime interest in mountain biking. Youth Clinics are free to members ($25 for individuals and $75 for families), and occur once monthly May-October. FAMB’s Youth Clinic scholarship program provides mountain biking instruction in Montana’s Flathead Valley to underprivileged kids age 8 to 16 who might otherwise not have the opportunity to ride trails. Scholarship recipients get free individual FAMB memberships, free clinic instruction and brand new mountain bikes, helmets, and water bottles, giving them the opportunity to join a healthy, social outdoor activity unique to our region.
