BLM hosting public listening sessions for Alaska Long Trail National Scenic Trail Feasibility Study

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) invites the public to attend upcoming listening sessions to inform a congressionally-directed feasibility study of the proposed Alaska Long Trail National Scenic Trail.

These listening sessions provide BLM the opportunity to share more information about the study process and gather input on this proposed National Scenic Trail, including information about potential trail routes.

The BLM is analyzing the feasibility, suitability, and desirability of designating the route as a national scenic trail as directed by Congress. Public input is vital to this study.

Once completed, the feasibility study will be sent to Congress, which has the sole authority to enact legislation to designate new national scenic trails.

The BLM will host these public, in-person meetings the week of April 8 in Anchorage, Seward, Wasilla, Cantwell, and Fairbanks. For those interested in attending here in the Borough, the Wasilla Public Library will be hosting the meeting April 10 3:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.

Anchorage will host a meeting April 8 5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. at the Loussac Library Learning Commons Room.

Virtual listening sessions will be held in early summer 2024 for those who are unable to attend in April.
