Trails and Access
The FMCBC works to ensure British Columbia’s hiking and climbing access trails are recognized, protected and maintained. The FMCBC’s Trail committee, as well as its Recreation and Conservation Committees, play an integral role in supporting trails across the province. Our committees work on trail access, trail building and maintenance, advocate for new trail projects, and network with BC Parks and government ministries.
