The Legacy Trails Project is a deeply meaningful project, born from our own struggles with addiction and mental health. We found peace and healing through mountain biking, and now we're dedicated to sharing it with our community. Our mission: build two new trails specifically designed to support mental wellness and recovery.
We're grateful for our teams – WoodridgeMTB Trail Support Foundation and Baseline Mountain Biking Club – and every supporter who's believed in us. Join us in inspiring others to chase their dreams and unlock their potential. Help us bring this vision to life by donating today!

LEGACY TRAILS CONCEPT
The Legacy Trails Project, in partnership with Baseline Mountain Biking Club, aims to build two new mountain bike trails on Baseline Mountain, dedicated to mental health and addiction recovery. These trails will provide a safe outdoor space for riders to connect with nature and the community while improving their physical and mental well-being. The project not only focuses on trail construction but also emphasizes the broader benefits of mountain biking as a tool for mental health and addiction recovery.
Leveraging the expertise of Baseline Mountain Biking Club, a non-profit organization entrusted with the stewardship of Baseline Mountain, the trails will be built and maintained to the Whistler Trail Standard, ensuring long-term sustainability. The trails have been designed to cater to all skill levels, from beginner to advanced, incorporating sustainable trail-building practices throughout.
A memorial bench honoring Ian MacDonald will be included as a tribute to his legacy and a symbol of hope for those facing challenges.
INVESTING IN OUR COMMUNITY
With an estimated project cost of $120,000-$130,000 we seek corporate sponsors to fund up to 50% of this transformative project, with the remainder to be raised through community fundraising efforts and personal donations.
By supporting the Legacy Trails Project, you will be at the forefront of promoting outdoor recreation with an ongoing impact on riders’ mental and physical health. Join us in building a legacy!
