COPMOBA, Mesa County, and Western Colorado Conservation Corp are pleased to announce job openings for leadership and members of the Grand Valley Trail Crew.
The Grand Valley Canyons (GVC) chapter of COPMOBA will be holding monthly meetings to more effectively engage the public in trail maintenance, trail building, and events.

Every December 1st, a small set of trails in the Grand Valley are closed for seasonal wildlife closures. Seasonal Closures are from December 1 - May 1. These closures occur to protect essential landscapes for wildlife and are part of agreements negotiated with Colorado Parks and Wildlife and land managers to have the opportunity to build trails in beautiful landscapes.
The Western Colorado Conservation Corps Trail Crew Leader is a seasonal position responsible for overseeing trail maintenance duties in Mesa County. Projects will include technical rockwork, revegetation, erosion control, tread construction, social trail closures, vegetation management, and other responsibilities as assigned.
The Colorado Plateau Mountain Bike Trail Association (COPMOBA) understands and is committed to the many positive impacts of outdoor recreation and the outdoor recreation economy, and a critical part of that impact is the responsible participation in outdoor recreation at all times. In accordance with Governor Polis’ stay-at-home order, which is in effect from March 26-April 11, we must take action on a local basis to follow these requirements and recreate responsibly and locally.
COPMOBA has so many projects on tap for 2020, and to support those efforts, we're kicking off a community fundraising effort with the goal of raising $15,000 to support these projects!
The crew over here at COPMOBA wanted to say thank-you for your support in 2019 and for helping us celebrate 30 years of building trail! The support that we receive through donations and memberships like yours is what enables us to continue our mission to build, maintain, and advocate for singletrack trails in western Colorado.
We need your help! E-bike use is growing in popularity around the country and western Colorado. As a member driven organization that serves many communities, COPMOBA wants to gain insight into the opinions of our members and trail community.
