Welcome
to
the
Friends
of the Rossland
Range
Within
12 km of Rossland, BC, the 5,000 hectare Old Glory Alpine area is a small
area of natural mountain
terrain within the Rossland Range, which has much larger areas for major ski
resort area use and
motorized commercial recreational activity.
The Old Glory
Alpine area has long
been well known in the region as a historical and special non-motorized area, excellent for its hiking, winter backcountry skiing,
wildlife viewing and as a vital community watershed.
The
Friends of the Rossland Range is a non-profit charitable organization
with a mission to promote
and foster understanding, appreciation and stewardship of the Rossland
Range among residents and visitors through educational and recreational
activities and other projects.
We
seek sharing of the limited alpine lands in the Rossland Range among
historical users while giving full consideration to wildlife and
environmental values.
The
primary goal of the Friends of the Rossland Range is the preservation of the Old
Glory Alpine's value as the
community watershed, and its visual landscape, wildlife, environmental and recreation values.

more about our mission and the many programs and activities here.

if you'd like to volunteer for any of our
projects!
