Fill out this form to express your interest in volunteering. The Munda Biddi Trail Foundation relies on the support of volunteers to maintain the iconic trail, the Trail, and Foundation, would not flourish without passionate and engaged volunteers.  

There are six main tasks that are carried out by volunteers for the Foundation

1. Sectional Trail Maintenance

Sectional trail inspections and maintenance are the most common volunteering activity at the MBTF. The Trail is made up of 108 maintenance sections, from low to high maintenance and 4 to 25km in length. Sectional volunteers visit their sections quarterly or more regularly. Perth-based volunteers often need to travel some distance to maintain their section. Maintenance can be done solo or in a team.

2. Trail counter reading

There are 13 counters along the length of the Munda Biddi recording riders, these counters need to be read and reset at the beginning of every month.

2. Rover Task Force

RTF volunteers assist with our higher-level trail maintenance including trail building, erosion control, infrastructure construction and trail surveys. You need to have basic outdoors skills and some experience in maintenance, landscaping, or construction. Good health and stamina are a must, but age is no barrier – our RTF volunteers’ range in age from teens to 70+. RTF volunteers can access a range of training opportunities and work with diverse teams in varied environments. RTF deployments range from 1 – 3 days in length, depending on location.

4. Office and Admin support

The MBTF is always on the lookout for volunteers that can spend some time at our Northbridge office. It is important that you have basic computer skills and an eye for detail. Once you are familiar with our systems, admin volunteering can be done remotely.

5. Event management and participation:

The MBTF holds a range of Trail-and-workshop-based events, approximately quarterly throughout the year. The Foundation is always looking for volunteers to lend a hand.

6. Board membership:

The MBTF Board comprises six elected members and one member nominated by the Director General of the DBCA. Board members act on a voluntary basis, attending one meeting per month and contributing approximately eight hours per month for Foundation‐related activities outside of meetings.
