Friends of Kananaskis step up public lands trail care in new deal

'We're all over the place and we were really open to the idea of being a trail manager for a number of trails within public lands and across a broad area,' said Trevor Julian, executive director of the Friends of Kananaskis Country

More than 70 trails on public lands in Kananaskis are now being maintained through a new stewardship agreement ensuring upkeep and sustainable use.

The Friends of Kananaskis Country — the only trail stewardship group that manages trails throughout the entire Kananaskis region — has entered an agreement with the Alberta government’s public lands division to support trail care.
