January Trail Care Update: Planning for 2014 by Derek Ryder, Co-Chair As Rosemary is off for a while tending to some family matters, I get to try and update you on our winter progress. As we don’t do trail care projects in the winter, what we do instead is spend time planning for the next season, which includes writing grant applications. On December 4th 2013, we sat down with staff from Alberta Parks and took a look back at the successes and learnings for 2013, plus opportunities for 2014. It was a really productive conversation. Here are some highlights: In 2013, we surprised ourselves with the success of mid-week projects, including many that were multi-day. We held very few weekend projects in 2013. Previous years had seen single day, weekend only projects. The challenge with that success is that feedback from you suggests that many of you can only make weekend projects. The good news for 2014 and the next few years is that, in the context of flood recovery, Parks trail staff will be working 7 days a week, enabling both mid- week and weekend volunteer work.

Field work was initiated (Fulton et al. 1974); soil classification in Jasper in 1975, and continued in Banff, (Canada Soil Survey Committee 1970, 1973, with Lacate's methodology being modified and 1974); wetlands classification (Zoltai et al.
