Welcome to the 

Friends of the Rossland Range

 

a non-profit society, Rossland, BC, Canada

 

The Rossland Range is a special place - a great place to play, full of community traditions, and many values to all. 

 

Our goals are to foster the traditions and community spirit of the Rossland Range, work toward keeping this gem a great place to play, and teach the natural, recreational, cultural, historical values of the area.

 

Presently, we are working on many projects, including:

-An annual summer hike program

-A photo and story record of activities in the Rossland Range, such as the history of the Old Glory Weather Station

-Developing a Streamkeepers program

-Developing a forest interpretation project

-Inspiring a community-based, multi-use recreation plan for the Rossland Range, including establishing a winter backcountry recreation area in the Old Glory Alpine Area

Contact us if you'd like to volunteer for any of our projects!

 

 

Your membership provides the foundation of community support for us to achieve our goals using public education, government dialogue and cooperative planning.
