PREVENTING INVASIVE SPECIES

The West Kootenay region is an outdoor enthusiasts paradise, with endless recreational opportunities. While enjoying all that the Kootenay Lake region has to offer please keep in mind that invasive species can act as hitchhikers and latch onto your clothing and gear. Stopping the spread of invasive species is as easy as PLAY CLEAN GO. For more details on how you can take action visit the CKISS website.

 Our next KORTS work party will be brushing and deadfall clearing the 2km Mt Buchanan loop trail……date To Be Determined…..as snow still blocks vehicle travel to the summit. 

If you’re keen and looking for something to do, please consider power weed whacking the Kaslo Mountain Bike Park Trail downhill connector between the Upper and Lower trail areas. KORTS can provide the string weed whipper, fuel, and safety equipment. RSVP if you would be interested to do this, and especially if on a regular basis over the summer.

Happy Trails

KORTS trails work party Tuesday June 11

 Our current work party project continues at the KOOTS sculptures on the Kaslo River South trail this Tuesday June 11 @9am meeting at the Arena Ave trailhead. We will be hauling and placing gravel in the newly delineated areas around the sculptures. KORTS has 2 wheelbarrows and so if you have one to bring along that would be good.

Hope to see you there.

Work Party June 6 9am - noon

Just a reminder that we will be continuing our project at the KOOTS Sculptures this Thursday starting at 9am. Last week we cut and placed logs to delineate the walking area around the sculptures and we still have a few more to place, before starting to move and place gravel for pathways and to harden off some areas. 

Meet at the Arena Ave trailhead.
