The Redstreak Restoration Trail was developed to provide a learning experience near the Redstreak Campground focused on the restoration of open forest grassland ecosystems in Kootenay National Park.
An interpretive brochure and interpretive panels feature stories of the restoration and its benefits to plant and wildlife communities in the Columbia Valley. Bighorn sheep and the endangered American badger are two of the species profiled.
It is a great trail for a morning, afternoon or evening stroll. Click on the brochure below to read.
The signs and pamphlet were designed by Heather Wall with text by Don Gayton.
