CCF’s work is tangible, enduring and invaluable. Our impactful 2020 season included work on trails to Dog Lake, Red Pine, Millcreek Pipeline, Mill B North, and Albion Basin, in addition to restoration at Silver Lake and the LCC Pavilion site. Countless acres of invasive species were removed and native plants cultivated. CCF engaged approximately 5,764 students in environmental and stewardship education.Volunteer rangers reached over 4,500 canyons’ visitors through our ski and snowshoe programs. Our Wasatch Wildflower Festival grew to 31 days of walks, videos, and wonder. Continuing this work today, CCF invites you to join us in this crucial effort to steward the canyons we love. Become a Friend!
