Chasing Dreams in the Snow: Frozen Trails and Wagging Tails Extravaganza

Dog Sledding Event Saturday January 13, 2024 at Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area
Dog Sledding Event Saturday MARCH 30 , 2024 at Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area

Join us for an exciting winter event at the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area – Frozen Trails and Wagging Tails! On March 30, 2024, from 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm, we invite you to embrace the beauty of nature in the heart of winter.

Experience the thrill of dogsledding through the enchanting forest trails as you glide through the snow-covered landscape. Feel the crisp air on your face and listen to the sound of wagging tails as our mushers and furry friends from Eagle Ridge and Battle River Kennel lead you on an unforgettable adventure.

However, we understand that Mother Nature can be unpredictable, especially in this year of El Niño. In the event that we do not retain the required 3 to 5 inches of snow for dogsledding, rest assured that we have a backup plan. The event may be subject to change to a walking tour, allowing you to still explore and appreciate the stunning winter scenery.

Frozen Trails and Wagging Tails is organized by Friends of the Saskatoon Afforestation Areas, a dedicated group committed to preserving and enhancing these natural spaces for future generations. By participating in this event, you not only get to enjoy a unique winter experience but also support their valuable conservation efforts.

Don’t let the cold weather keep you indoors this winter. Embrace the magic of nature at Frozen Trails and Wagging Tails on March 30th. Bundle up, bring your sense of adventure, and join us at Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area for an afternoon filled with fun and excitement amidst a picturesque winter wonderland.

Please note that this event is weather-dependent, so stay tuned for any updates regarding changes or cancellations due to inclement conditions such as the extreme cold from the polar vortex. Let’s celebrate winter together in harmony with nature!
