Provision Fund Kicks Off Giving Season with Gift for SCLT’s Kicking Horse Trail

The Provision Fund kicked off the giving season recently with a gift of $900 to the Sheridan Community Land Trust.

Everything the Fund supports will have an immediate local impact across our whole community, but will also create a foundation for lasting benefits, for ourselves, our families, and our region, that will be felt long into the future.

The gift will pay for the cost of materials, fabrication, and installation of the rollover cattleguard at a fence crossing on the newly opened Kicking Horse Trail. SCLT Executive Director Brad Bauer said each rollover cattleguard is designed for the specific needs of each crossing, with each guard being built in Sheridan County.

Kicking Horse Trail opened to the public in October. It is open year-round to non-motorized pedestrian, cycle, and equestrian use. It is part of the Soldier Ridge Trail System, which along with Hidden Hoot Trail, The Link, and Soldier Ridge Trail, comprise more than 10 miles of community trail SCLT has built and maintains Sheridan’s western edge.

The gift was made possible because of community members who partner with the Provision Fund. All of us “as patrons” contributing $100 annually have an active role in selecting projects they believe will make an impact in Sheridan County. A panel of ten stewards oversees the Fund disbursements.
