Province seeking input on outdoor recreation and trails

Nov 30, 2020 | 11:23 AM

Albertans are invited to share ideas about outdoor recreation and trails in the province.

The provincial government says input will help shape future policy and legislation for Crown land, including parks and public lands that support recreation for generations to come.

The engagement includes an online public survey, targeted discussions with key stakeholders, and consultation with Indigenous Peoples.

“Alberta’s government committed to modernize the system to better manage multi-use public land in the province. We are seeking the public’s input on how policies can better protect our Crown lands while balancing economic activities, recreation, and other uses,” says Environment and Parks Minister Jason Nixon.

“This important feedback will ensure our approach considers the need to manage these lands responsibly with the many ways Albertans use and enjoy them.”

The province says the consultation is the first initiative under the government’s approach to modernizing Crown land management and is guided by the Alberta Crown Land Vision.

The government is seeking input into how to support the responsible use of Crown lands, including trails:

• How we can enhance trail experiences for a variety of users?
• Supporting partnerships and funding opportunities
• How dollars can be reinvested into recreation as well as education and enforcement

The online survey can be accessed online here until January 15, 2021.
