Who are we?

SMART started as a local volunteer trail-maintenance group that was formed in the autumn of 1999 to perform trail maintenance at Mercer County Park, New Jersey. By 2001 we had 23 registered volunteer members and in 2006 we exceeded the 50 member mark. We are affiliated with JORBA and IMBA. Our NMBP-affiliated patrol was registered in mid-May, 2001, and is now patrolling Mercer County Park.
