Active Trails funded promotional materials for the Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site

Using the Active Trails Grant, Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site, Arrowstone Park on the Clark Fork River, and the City of Deer Lodge joined forces to promote their collective trail resources. A website, apps and brochures were printed and made available at the Grant-Kohrs Ranch Visitor Center, the Deer Lodge Medical Center, and local businesses.

This project increased awareness and utilization of the trails on Grant-Kohrs Ranch and the surrounding community and educated the public about the health benefits of using them.
