Inset: An adorable pika greedily gathers vegetation for winter storage. 6 7 Gorgeous, and in comparison relatively rare to its Mule deer relatives, the White- tailed deer is native to North, Central and South America, being spotted at least as far south as Peru. It is most common east of the Rocky Mountains and found in relative abundance throughout Bragg Creek and Kananaskis. Named for the characteristic white underside on its tail, which it uses to signal alarm, the White-tailed deer sports a reddish-brown coat in spring/ summer and a gray-brown coat in fall/ winter. The charming spots seen on the young fawns (left) are present at birth, but fade during their first summer. White-tailed deer have one to three fawns in mid-to-late spring, which are weaned after eight to ten weeks. Males stay with their mothers for one year, and females for two years, before heading off on their own. Antlers are shed and regrown every year by the male deer, although one in 10,000 females will also grow antlers because of a hormone imbalance ________________________________________ Opposite page, top: An innocent White- Philippe Widling tailed fawn enjoys some attention from its mother near Kananaskis Village.

The Calgary Foundation has approved a $77,000 grant to support our Rebuilding Kananaskis Country’s Interpretive Trails project. In partnership with Alberta Parks, the Friends of Kananaskis Country is working to replace interpretive signage that was damaged or destroyed by the 2013 flood. This is the first phase of a much larger initiative to refresh all interpretive trail signage; currently there are 32 official interpretive trails, and we are targeting refreshing 3 trails per year. The goal of this project is to foster a relationship between the visitor, the natural environment, and the flood affected area. This project will enhance visitor’s knowledge, thus positively influencing their awareness and understanding about the natural aspects of the site. More specifically, it will provide an opportunity to share the unique story of the 2013 flood, outline the environmental impacts at various natural sites, and highlight the community’s support and involvement in rebuilding Kananaskis Country. We are adopting an approach of fewer, but more engaging and effective, interpretive signs (4-6 signs) to reduce distractions and allow the site to speak for itself.

A Socio-Economic Evaluation of Sportsfishing Activity in Southern Alberta Interim Project Report INTROI)UCTION Recreational fishing is one of the most important recreational activities in Alberta. The report on Sports Fishing in Alberta, 1985, states that over 340,000 angling licences were purchased in the province and the total population of anglers exceeded 430,000. Approximately 5.4 million angler days were spent in Alberta and over $130 million was spent on fishing related activities. Clearly, sportsfishing is an important recreational activity and the fishery resource is the source of significant social benefits. A National Angler Survey is conducted every five years. However, the results of this survey are broad and aggregate in nature insofar that they do not address issues about specific sites. It is the purpose of this study to examine in detail the characteristics of anglers, and angling site choices, in the Southern region of Alberta. Fish and Wildlife agencies have collected considerable amounts of bio-physical information on fish habitat, water quality, biology and ecology.
