Communities across B.C. are gearing up to mark B.C. Trails Day on June 7.
It’s the fifth annual Trails Day event, aimed at celebrating the over 40,000 kilometres of managed trails across British Columbia.
The Outdoor Recreation Council of B.C. said “the day celebrates how trails contribute to well-being, local economies, and environmental stewardship.”
The non-profit says more than 60 events were held across the province last year, including guided hikes, trail clean ups and community barbeques.
“Trails connect people through shared rides or hikes, peaceful time in nature, or hands-on stewardship,” said Executive director Louise Pedersen.
B.C. Trails Day takes place on the first Saturday in June, though several communities are also hosting events in the lead-up to the event.
A full-list of events can be found on the Outdoor Recreation Council of B.C.’s website.
