"The writing I've done, especially for outdoor activities and
the environment, has always been with the hope that nature will be valued
and therefore preserved. It's why the trail series has been important
because proceeds have gone toward various environmental projects. Through
the sales of Grand River Country Trails, for example, more than $30,000 was
raised to build a section of the Walter Bean Grand River Trail along the
Canadian Heritage River."

Proceeds from Katherine's book series have supported the following
environmental, conservation and charity projects:

Grand River Conservation Foundation

Thompson Creek Restoration at the Grand River (Dunnville)
