Big thanks to Powell River Outdoors (proutdoors.com) for recently equipping our trail crews with pre-programmed backcountry radios. 180km of trail requires year-round maintenance and thousands of volunteer hours. These radios will help our crews communicate and stay safe when working without mobile phone signal.
