Does anyone have ideas for the 2009 IMBA/Clif Bar Preservation Grants? These have a bit different theme than just ordinary trail building. Anyone know of a good trail reclemation or preservation project that would match this criteria?

Post up ideas or pm me with any thoughts.

2009 IMBA/CLIF Bar Trail Preservation Grants
IMBA affiliated clubs are invited to apply for cash grants to support trail restoration and preservation projects. In 2009, the International Mountain Bicycling Association and CLIF Bar will award ten $500 cash grants to IMBA affiliated clubs to fund projects that promote environmental education and inspire conservation in the mountain biking community. 

The application deadline is Sept. 1, 2009. 

Grant Applications MUST Include:
A one-page, typed description of the proposed project that demonstrates how funds will be productively used to preserve and enhance trail access, promote environmental education and inspire conservation in your community. 
A budget outline to show how all funding will be used. 
Club Name (Clubs applying for grants must be current members of IMBA.) 
Contact Name 
Contact Address 
Contact Phone 
Contact Email and Club Website 
Please submit applications via email to ryan.schutz@imba.com. Include the following in the subject of your email submission: CLIF Grant - Your Club Name or Acronym. 

Please use CLIF Bar's logo when possible in appreciation of their support for mountain bike advocacy. Please click here to download a CLIF Bar logo in Adobe Illustrator EPS format. 

That's the second suggestion for a possible Renni project. 

We need a specific plan of how/where to reclaim some trail, or fix poor drainage causing runoff ,or some other environmental impact type project to spend the $500 grant (and possibly more money from other sources). Is there a specific section of trail we can target?
