A Dream Becoming Reality…
Have you heard!? The Kaslo Mountain Bike Club, in coordination with the Kaslo Outdoor Recreation and Trails Society (KORTS) have been successful in obtaining grants from Columbia Basin Trust and the provincially funded Community Economic Recovery Infrastructure Program. The financial contribution of these two funders as well as Recreation Sites and Trails BC, and the very important private sponsorship, will allow KMBC to build approximately 22km of trail in the Kaslo Interpretive Forest Recreation area (aka “the Buchanan Zone”) from the Upper Songbird trail to the summit of Mount Buchanan! This trail will be bi-directional, built to IMBA standards and will be just as fun to descend as it was to climb. This Mega project will provide something for every rider with diverse forest types, views and not to mention amazing single-track!
KMBC is working closely with local stakeholders, primarily the Kaslo and District Community Forest Society (KDCFS), to ensure the trail is designed and built with not only riding in mind, but wildlife and hydrology values, forestry operations and the KDCFS’ long term planning in consideration.
What an exciting project for Kaslo and our local businesses! KMBC is a member of the Kaslo Chamber of Commerce and would like to acknowledge the support of the Chamber. If you or your business is looking to be a part of this project or others, please contact us! We’re looking for dedicated volunteers for work on the ground, but also ‘in the office’. If you want to be a part of a lasting legacy for your community, please reach out! Or visit our “Sponsorship” page for more information.
