Footprints in Time
Trail Enhancement How-To Manual
This FIT Trail How-To Manual is designed to help community leaders, municipal planners, recreation directors, health promoters, and educators enhance the interpretative value of outdoor spaces, especially walking and hiking trails that appeal to families and school groups. It is geared to existing trails, but can also be integrated into the planning of new pathways and open spaces.
Following this step-by-step process will help your group define various aspects of a typical FIT trail and its interpretive components. Upon completion, it provides a working blueprint for the development of an enhanced outdoor trail featuring the natural and cultural heritage of the area.
While the thematic content of this guide focuses on the Ottawa Valley, Ontario, Canada, the step-by-step planning system can be adapted to walking and hiking trails almost anywhere.

Spirits of the Little Bonnechere
A History of Exploration, Logging
and Settlement
1800 to 1920
Roderick Mackay
Rory's travels began in the mid-1970s
as he sought to document the vast cultural resources of Algonquin
Provincial Park. During this period he visited most known sites along
the Little Bonnechere River and interviewed the children of the original
Basin Depot farm settlers who supplied the lumber industry. Rory also
studied archival materials such as maps, journals and legislative
reports which deepen our understanding of the history of this area.
The result of his work is an extensive collection of cultural resource
information documenting the development and settlement along the Little
Bonnechere River.
6.5" x 9.75", soft cover,

for Youth
Sandy Stephenson
Join our host, Alex, on a trip through
time in celebration of the human spirit. This hands-on book is a trip
through time about the people who lived and died along the Little
Bonnechere River from 5000 BC to 2000. Dig into the amazing science
of archaeology, learn about Native survival skills, meet the entrepreneur
of the fur trade: the coureur de bois. Follow the journey of a white
pine from the Bonnechere to England's Royal Navy ships, watch as immigrants
transform Basin Depot from a logging out-post to a small but thriving
settlement. In the end, we are reminded that we must preserve these
stories and our land for those who will come after us.
