Friends of Kananaskis Country

This project will work on several trails in Peter Lougheed over multiple dates. Types of work will vary depending on the trail section and could include:

• Small to medium-sized tread repairs to fix drainage issues and overall tread condition
• Brushing & limbing work to improve sightlines and reduce hazards  

Meeting time: 9:00am -3:00pm

Meeting location: will be confirmed in trail day reminder sent the day prior. 

What to expect: The level of effort will range from light to moderate and mainly include using hoes, rakes and Pulaskis to dig/till or otherwise remove ruts in seasonal wet/muddy sections, boot-packing and raking smooth finished tread on damaged tread sections, brushing and limbing hazard trees/bushes, and rock work to move and adjust rocks on various sections of trail.
