The Creston Valley Trails Society is one of the 25 organizations being funded throughout the Kootenays by the CBT’s $396,341 trail enhancement grants, according to a statement released Aug. 29.
“The basin has a remarkable system of trails, and residents told us to prioritize supporting projects that increase accessibility for more people to get out into nature,” said Tim Hicks, senior manager, delivery of benefits.
“We are helping groups create new trails and rehabilitate existing infrastructure to support trail users with a broad range of interests.”
