The U.S. Forest Service is undergoing the most significant structural change in its history, and local trail organizations should be paying close attention. The changes move away from the long-standing nine-region model toward a state-based structure more similar to the Bureau of Land Management. For partners like IMBA and its network of local organizations, the reorganization will impact how relationships are built, projects are delivered, and advocacy is carried forward on the ground. The IMBA team wants to help Local Organizations and Trail Champions prepare for the changes to stay positioned as strong partners for trails. Tap the link in our bio for an overview of changes, a list of steps to take soon, and a new online resource about working with the Forest Service. These structural changes are unfolding alongside compounding challenges for trails. Critical underfunding, a shrinking workforce, a broader federal hiring freeze, recreation being considered a lower priority, and policy shifts like NEPA reforms and the potential Roadless Area rescission all add to disruption and uncertainty within the Forest Service. Success in this evolving landscape will come down to capacity both within the agency and across our network of Local Organizations, Trail Champions, and dedicated advocates like you.

"Soñás con senderos infinitos? Esto te va a interesar." Todos amamos un buen clip épico. Todos repetimos eso de "No dig, no ride". 🔥 Pero la realidad es otra: hacer senderos que duren es un arte que pocos conocen. No basta con pico y pala. Detrás de cada curva perfecta hay algo que no ves en los videos: 📋 Gestión. ⏳ Tiempo. 🤝 Comunidad. Porque sin eso, el sendero que tanto amás… muere. Lo arrastra el agua, lo entierra la falta de fondos, o lo frena un permiso que nunca llegó. 📍 Pero hay una fórmula que sí funciona. Esta infografía te muestra paso a paso el proceso REAL detrás de los senderos IMBA y de los proyectos que sí sobreviven al tiempo. No siempre estamos con las palas. Muchas veces estamos nadando en burocracia… para que vos solo tengas que nadar en flow. 🏄‍♂️ ✅ Para que los senderos sean tuyos, de tus hijos, de tu comunidad. ✅ Para que sumen valor, no daño. ✅ Para que mañana haya MÁS lugares donde rodar. 🚀 Es hora de cambiar el chip. ❌ “No dig, no ride” ✅ “JOIN & RIDE” Sumate a IMBA o a nuestros Chapters. Participá. Apostá por el cambio real. Sé parte de los que construyen, no solo de los que miran clips. 👉 Unite hoy. El próximo sendero lleva tu nombre.
