we are focused on sustainability
Our values
We believe in a sustainable future. Trails are invaluable in providing healthy recreational and economic opportunities for communities. Trails connect us with nature and this connection is essential to our well being. Our work strives to balance the social, economic and environmental lenses of sustainability, as represented in the three circles in our logo.
our goal
Guided by our pursuit of a sustainable future, our goal is to provide cost effective, realistic and relevant strategies to plan or improve trails and bike parks. We forge partnerships with Stakeholders, Rights & Title Holders and Land Managers to create long term planning strategies to expand socioeconomic opportunity while minimizing ecological impact and effectively managing risk.
our team
Avid outdoor enthusiasts, we are passionate about trails. Our team of professionals hold decades of experience in land use planning, geotechnical terrain analysis, trail design & management, community engagement, and risk assessment.
For construction projects, we have partnerships with some of the best contractors throughout the province.
OUR process
Working collaboratively with our clients, our first step is to distill the key objectives and summarize desired outcomes. From this, we define the scope of work and the accompanying deliverables to create the project framework including milestones, beginning with the determination of feasibility, field analysis and data acquisition. The end result is the creation of a detailed, phased and realistic action plan that fulfills objectives to maximize potential.
field assessment
Utilizing current guidelines, standards and best practices, we conduct an objective assessment of the asset to categorize, geo-locate and inventory deficiencies while identifying opportunities for improvement, providing prioritized site specific prescriptions.
results
The analysis of field data leads to the creation of concise planning strategies that include an inventory of assets, a summary of deficiencies, the identification of areas of concern and recommended solutions. This provides the foundation for future improvement. We’ll provide clear recommendations, cost projections and timelines for phased implementation.
PLANNING
Our Master Plans and Development Plans provide detailed specifications with POI and GIS for future implementation. Concise cost projections and estimated timelines allow clients to use these plans to procure grant funding, issue RFP and QFS, and the ability to schedule development in tandem with available budgets.
SLOPE ANALYSIS
For new development or realignment of existing trails, a slope analysis is critical to identify complex areas and opportune terrain. The slope analytics identify landform constraints, ideal terrain and slope that is conducive to new development.
Plan, design & construction
Our planning services include Master Planning, Improvement POI, Signage Plans, bridge & structure rendering and construction.
BIKE PARK SAFETY, PLANNING & CONSTRUCTION
Our work in Safety Planning with several bike park projects in BC includes the creation of detailed Safety Plans & Management Plans specific to Bike Parks. Beyond this, we are able to provide bike park Development Plans with detailed schematics and designs, accompanied with detailed cost projections and specifications. To complete the end to end services in bike park development, we have a team of experienced and specialized partner contractors, considered to be industry leaders in bike park construction, ready to build your bike park!
“No step in the process of constructing a new trail is more important than surveying a detailed, carefully considered route. A well-surveyed trail that is badly constructed can later be brought up to standard. A poorly surveyed trail, even though built by expert crews, will forever suffer from the initial failure to plan it properly.”
education & training
Our workshops and field training sessions provide the knowledge base and valuable hands-on learning opportunities to increase capacity and improve effectiveness. The graduated training sessions provide participants with working knowledge of current safety, construction and assessment standards, guidelines and sustainable construction techniques for all types of trails.

“The sessions and curriculum were great. The duration and material were both very good. With the information provided in level one, we could make a 90% improvement on most of our trails with a little planning and thought.”
