ABProjects.org would like to extend its gratitude to all the volunteers who came out for this months projects!
 
September 15th saw the install of another 80 foot bridge in Waiparous for motorized access in Fallen Timber.  
Over 25 volunteers showed up to spend the day installing the bridge, building fence and cutting a new section of trail to by-pass the water crossing.
The Calgary Quad Squad graciously donated enough burgers and hot dogs for all volunteers to enjoy!
A special day, as we celebrated Gary Salekin's birthday as well!
 
September 22nd was the second install of 2 major fencing projects in McLean this year.
30 volunteers came out to install over 1000 feet of fence to protect the creek in Fisher West.
3 walk-arounds were installed so that users may still access the area via foot.
A by-pass portion of trail has been provided for users, so as to avoid the creek crossing all together.
Thank you to Tim of the Calgary Quad Squad for the donation of smokies and hot dogs!
 
 
A special thank you goes to the following:
 
Elbow River Watershed Partnership
Calgary Jeep Association
Spray Lakes
Calgary Quad Squad
