Quad Squad bridges, not fences

14th Annual Ed Gregor Memorial Stewardship Day

Saturday, June 7th, 2008

See Crowsnest Forest Stewardship Society newsletter and website additional details.

Over the past 14 years many changes have occurred in the way people access and care for the back country. Many of these changes have been as a result of the influence and respect for Ed Gregor and the stewardship that he represented. His Love of the land and his kids continue today thru many of those involved in the remembrance of his examples.

Ed and Bea Gregor with "the kids" enjoying the sun and snow in his "Happy Valley", a place he loved and shared.

This year we hope to build on the family values and instill in our youth a sense of pride in their accomplishments and surroundings. Many of the projects in the planning stages for this June will focus around the joy of family and nature. Special events are being planned for all ages. Hope you can come to the Crowsnest Pass and participate in this wonderful day.
