Alaska Trails Course Offered




Sustainable Trail Design for Wetland Terrain

Alaska Trails will be offering a 3-hour course on Sustainable Trail Design for Wetland Terrain at the Willow Community Center in Willow, Alaska on the evening on Friday, April 22, at 6-9 PM.  The program will be presented by Kevin Meyer, the Regional Trails Specialist for the National Park Service, who is a nationally recognized expert on ATV/OHV trail design in permafrost and wetlands environments.  The program will discuss fundamental concepts of sustainability, and will present practical management and technical options -- such as trail hardening --  that ensure trails meet the needs of users and provide protection for the environment.  The program will provide an introduction to the wide range of trails management information, assistance programs and training now available to the public.  Cost:  FREE – sponsored by the Mat-Su Health Foundation.
