Recreation • Albertans and tourists alike continue to use forested lands for many recreational activities such as camping, canoeing, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, hiking, hunting, fishing and horse back riding. A higher level of back-country activity increased the need for maintenance and patrols, to. monitor the back-country. - AFS maintained 144 km of cross-country ski trails and 759 km of snowmobile trails. It managed 209 recreation areas, consisting of 4,388 camping units and 1,661 day use units. It is estimated that more than 600,000 people used these campgrounds. .- Joint-venture agreements with non-profit associations and municipalities were developed-and implemented to build and maintain recreation amenities such as snowmobile trails, cross-country ski trails and campgrounds. Consultation with the public and private industry regarding land use and recreational decisions was '; provided for the draft Castle River Access Management Plan, which is being developed to resolve conflicts related to motorized recreational activities. The .Volunteer Campground Host program was extended to the Bow/Crow Forest during 1990-91. Initiated as a pilot program in the Rocky/ Clearwater Forest in 1988, the program offers individuals the opportunity to work with AFS to provide enhanced service to the public. The program has proven to be a great success and continues to expand in both forests this year. • Watershed Manage
