Grants from Okanagan Basin Water Board, RDNO, and TD Friends of the Environment Foundation (through Ribbons of Green Trails Society) will get phase one underway and the group is now looking for individual donations to the project.

“Site grading is being completed and native plant restoration will showcase some of the beautiful, resilient, and culturally significant native plants at the northern trailhead, but a critical deadline is approaching,” the release added. “A low rock wall, seating and staging area are also planned. To give the plants the best chance of survival they need to be in the ground by late fall.”

Other fundraising efforts are happening in October with a virtual bike film festival on October 1.

Vernon, Silver Star and Kalamalka Rotary clubs have combined to put on a massive garage and bake sale on October 3, and funds from that event will be matched up to $2,000.
