Trails give off the distinct sense of permanence and durability because of their prevalence and emblematic status across our wild landscapes. After all, people come to live and visit our region because of the recreational.
The organization started a GoFundMe campaign and within nearly a month has received more than $28,000, about $3,000 more than its initial goal, for materials and supplies.
With 42 miles of trails severely impacted by the fire and 120 miles moderately impacted, group member Jerry Hanley said the task is daunting but less so thanks to the support shown by the community. As far as you can see up there are burnt trees on both sides (of the Poudre Canyon); it s just sickening to me, said Hanley, who heads the organization s funding development committee. But I ve been delightfully shocked and overwhelmed by the generosity of folks when we reached out like this for the first time in our history. And 80% to 90% of the donors to the site are not PWV members, which is outstanding.
