We actively engage community members of all ages as volunteers on trails. We have produced and continue to add to a Field Guide that focuses on traditional Native uses of the plants along the trail. We continue to update produce and distribute the brochure we created about Health Benefits of Trails. We distribute trail and outdoor recreation education materials at all outreach booths all year.

PARKS We manage Worthington Glacier State Recreation Site Blueberry Lake Campgrounds and Shoup Bay Cabins. All of these parks are owned by the State of Alaska but the State was going to close them because they are remote and difficult and expensive to maintain. Hosts are trained with an educational script and information to share with guests and safety and educational materials are given out and or posted at all locations. At Worthington Glacier we served about 32,000 people; Blueberry Lake Campgrounds we served about 3,500 people; Cabins we served about 700 people.
