National Trails Day

Saturday, June 1, 2013

National Trails Day is held the first Saturday of each June. This nationwide event draws people together to celebrate trails as they complete trail work projects. The improvements to our public lands accomplished through National Trails Day projects contribute to the long-term health and maintenance of these lands and trails.

The BLM will not host a National Trails Day event at Campbell Tract in 2013 due to funding contraints. However, we encourage you to lend a hand with other National Trails Day opportunities in Anchorage:

• SingleTrack Advocates will perform trail maintenance on Hillside Singletrack Trails. Volunteers should meet at Hilltop Ski Area south parking lot at 8:30 a.m. for trail work briefing. Work will begin at 9 a.m. and continue until noon.

• Chugach State Park: Indian Valley Trailhead work will include removing invasive bird vetch, dismantling a bridge and carrying out the hardware, brushing the trail, and clearing out drainages. Work will occur 9 a.m. until 1 p.m., or later for those who can stay longer.

Thank you to all the volunteers who make this annual event a success!
