This message was received from Mark Steinebach. Keep up the good work out there!
Sunday, March 20 saw several different groups of recreational users come together to put their collective back’s into cleaning up Vedder Mountain. Every year the dirt bike, trail running, hiking, horseback riding and mountain biking groups have organized their own “trail days” to deal with the illegal dumping abuses that are reeked upon this area that we love so much. This year the various groups co-ordinated their focus. The result was a cumulative effort that yielded some 500 man hours of volunteer labour of which the mountain bike community contributed nearly half.
Two mega-dumpsters of garbage were removed from the roadways and embankments of Vedder Mountain, and piles of berms were added to the trails to improve that flowy feeling. A ton of general trail maintenance occurred. Following this trail ‘love-in’ the troops met back at Jack’s Cycle for eats. Swag flowed to the regiment and then it was off to enjoy mass trail riding. We went home muddy, tired and smiling.
The day was all good and props have to go out to the following good folks that helped to make this day go off by the donation of goods, food, money or effort:

We were just sent a link to some video footage of the recent rally up at Vedder Mountain. There's a great interview with Mark Steinbach that illustrates a lot of the reasons why Vedder should remain open to the public.
Thanks to Geoff Edwards at Look-Ear.com for the heads up.

This is a message to all users of Vedder Mountain. On sat/19/feb @ 3pm, there will be a meeting of all user groups with B.C.T.V. It is important that we have as many people show up to this event as possible. The trails we all love to ride are in danger of being logged as well road closure during these times of the logging project. If you can make it, please bring your bikes and as many people as possible to represent the community and those who could not make this important meeting. There is a chance to make Vedder Mountain a recreational area only and this will be one of the biggest steps in that direction. FVMBA thanks anyone willing to participate and hopes to see many familiar faces as possible!!
NOTE: IF you could park @ the Cultus Lake parking lot at the bottom of Endo and ride your bikes to the base of the mountain that would be great!

Ron must respond to each individual email sent to him by the public demanding answers and proposed solutions to this situation. Make this guy earn his fat cheque by overwhelming numbers of emails, faxes and phone calls. This is our way of speaking out and showing representation of a wide user group who cares.
Thanks for the support!
