2022 Trail Season Recap

We're happy to report on another successful year from FKC, which included some expansions to our program scope - we acquired 4 e-bikes and packable tool kits which enabled our 'backcountry crew' volunteers to access projects beyond our usual 5km limit, we made great progress on the new Cloudline and Iliad trail builds, offered a number of trail sessions in the winter months, and expanded our program to the Elbow-Sheep Wildland Provincial Park. We extend our deepest thanks to you, the volunteers, who enable the success of our programs. Trail Stewardship is at the core of everything we do, and we couldn’t do it without you.

You can also see our 2022 highlights and accomplishments in our full 2022 Trail Report.
