2025 Update - The Piney Rehabilitation Project
Forest Corp NSW have advised NEMTB that they will be commencing removal of pine trees and weeds within the closed section of the Armidale State Forest within the next two weeks. This work is expected to take at least six weeks, with clean up of the site and rehabilitation to follow.
Club members and riders are strongly encouraged stay out of the closed section of The Piney, bounded by Rockvale Road, Donald Creek and Tilbuster Ponds.
The closure is due to a high safety risk from falling trees and branches and applies to all users.
The trails on the eastern side Donald Creek, accessible from the Pine Forest Road carpark, are open for riding. Alternatively, please use the SportUNE, Fat Tyre Farm, and Robbers Run trail networks for your mountain biking fix.
For updated information on the rehabilitation project and current status, please refer to https://www.forestrycorporation.com.au/operations/about-our-harvesting-operations/armidale-state-forest-rehabilitation-project.
Trail Closure Alert: Revelation
NEMTB has been informed that the Revelation (aka: Church) trail at SportUNE will be closed from 9am on 8 January 2025 until further notice to allow St Marks UNE Church to undertake fire mitigation works.
All riders are asked to not ride Relevation during this time to allow works to proceed.
We will notify members and riders via our website and social feeds once the trail has been reopened.
