The Back Country Horsemen Society, in partnership with the Strathcona Regional District, has received $495,778 in funding through the Rural Economic Diversification and Infrastructure Program.
The funds will allow much-needed rehabilitation to the Salmon Brewster Trail Corridor, a 40-kilometre multi-use trail linking up to Recreation Sites and Trails BC.
Work will include improving trail standards, rehabilitating sections impacted by slides and erosion, implementing drainage and erosion solutions, replacing an existing bridge, and designing and constructing a major ravine crossing.
Back Country Horsemen President Brain Harder says once completed, the investment will offer a unique experience for hikers, bike packers, and equine backcountry riding adventurers through the historic Brewster Lake forest resource area and north into the Salmon River area.
SRD Board Chair Mark Baker says the project highlights a shared dedication to restoring natural landscapes and providing recreation opportunities for residents and tourists.
