Huge kudos to the volunteers over the past few weeks for the work in reopening the Ridgemont trail network. The trails are riding better every day!

If you live in the Elk Valley, you most likely have observed the extensive clear-cut logging that has been occurring throughout the valley.

The good news is that most of Fernie Trails are open and in excellent condition!

That is why we need to slow things down, sit back and look at the future. To take in the view and decide what we want for our community going forward.

There is no legal requirement for logging practices on private land to be sustainable over time. This allows landowners to remove most or all of the forest cover in a short time period despite major impacts on wildlife, water and communities
