I don't see it like that. I think you get the funding to get the pros in to do the bulk of the work in consultation with the local crew. Once the trail is complete it is then handed over to the local crew to run and maintain it.I kinda Disagree with you...
I agree that we need a high level advocate, but just throwing money at pro trail builders gets us no where...
(they would have to go back every 3 months)
You need to have a grass level advocacy body (like IMBA)
I think that it what has happened down at Lakes Entrance. Of course the Lakes track doesn't yet see the traffic that a major metropolitan area would.
And I think who builds it is critical. Get the wrong people involved and you'll be riding highways, as happened to dirt bike riders in Victoria in every area dse got involved with.
Again, be careful what you wish for.
