UPDATES
SEEKING VOLUNTEERS!
*** NEW THIS YEAR ****
Due to the ever rising costs of fuel, the board has decided to offer a $300 reimbursement to those who can provide the use of dump trailer with truck, skid steer or tractor for the day. Although this does not fully reimburse you for your efforts and costs, we hope it can help ease the added expense. Please Note: must be able to assist in operation and be able to transport equipment out there.
Duties required for equipment: level and spreading of gravel at highlines, manure clean up etc.
If you are able to provide equipment, please reach out to us via email at: foesa1994@gmail.com
OVERVIEW
In February 1994, Friends of the Eastern Slopes Association was incorporated as a not-for-profit society. The group took on as their first project the Bighorn Campground located on the Parks Canada Ya Ha Tinda Ranch. They negotiated with Parks Canada to take over as the stewards of the campground. Over the intervening years, through positive, proactive volunteer efforts, Friends of the Eastern Slopes Association:
- Has grown and consistently maintains a membership of over 2700 members/families
- Have an on-going agreement with Parks Canada for the Bighorn Campground area
- Were entrusted by Alberta Sustainable Resource Development and the Bighorn Backcountry Committee with the stewardship of the Hummingbird, Eagle Creek and Cutoff Forest Recreation areas
- Were entrusted by Alberta Parks with the stewardship of Peppers Lake, Elk Creek Campground, Elk Creek Fish Pond, James Wilson, Cartier Creek, Deer Creek, Red Deer River North & South, Red Deer River Group Camping, and Wild Horse campgrounds.
- Have made a real reduction in regards to the impact on the environment from recreational horse users
THANK YOU!
