Thank You for a Great Trail Season

 

Thank you to our wonderful volunteers, donors, staff, Board of Directors, Alberta Parks, and PLUZ staff for a fantastic trail season.

 

The Friends of Kananaskis Country and its volunteers have worked close to 9,000 hours in the field this year, which is a significant increase over previous years. As we like to say, we made a lot of things better this year, and we thank you for making it happen!
