  • Recreation Strategies

  • Recreation strategies provide land managers with decision-making tools and direction to ensure successful recreation planning. CERG delivers comprehensive environmental guidance for resort development, mountain bike management and bike park design, and recreation trail development in areas that include risk management, trail conflict management, environmental protection, trail layout and signage, and the regulatory framework that may affect recreational activities on Crown or private land.
           

  • Trail Design & Mapping

  • CERG has proven experience in the design and assessment of new and existing trails. Studies include assessments of potential impacts on vegetation and wildlife in order to limit environmental disturbance and maximize the recreational benefit. Past projects have also included cost assessments for trail re-alignment, existing trail maintenance and upgrades, and new trail building. Additionally, CERG are owners and operators of high end GPS equipment that can be used to delineate new trail alignments and provide accurate mapping of existing trails.
           

  • Recreation Tenure Applications

  • Obtaining tenure for a commercial recreation area can be a lengthy and complex process. CERG has an excellent track record in providing prospective recreation operators with the necessary permits and proactive planning to meet future recreation tenure needs. CERG is experienced in developing quality plans, maps, and documentation needed in the recreation tenure application process.
