Bear Creek OHV Trail System, Kelowna, BCRecConnect returned to British Columbia in May 2008 to continue trail planning and begin trail layout and design. We constructed single-track with a mini-excavator; double-track with a Sweco dozer; ripped, closed, seeded and fertilized existing non-sustainable trails; installed signing; made an interim map; installed trail hardenting, and constructed rock check dams for erosion control on steep, heavily eroded hillclimbs. For the first time, riders now had signed, mapped trails with consistent and signed difficulty and their response was overwhlemingly positive. During this implementation, RecConnect also designed a trailhead and campground which will be constructed in 2009.
