Trails don't build themselves. But with the ongoing work of dedicated volunteers, Kimberley already has an amazing network of trails.
You can help out by donating your valuable time, or your hard-earned cash.

step 2: get your annual trail pass
Annual trail passes are a way that you can show your support for Kimberley trails. Funds raised directly support trail maintenance by providing food, drink and tools to members of the volunteer trail crew. Trail passes are not mandatory, but they are a critical source of annual funds that directly support trail maintenance. Trails are not free to maintain.
