Mat-Su Trails Master Plan meetings set

MAT-SU — Mat-Su Trails and Parks Foundation is planning a series of meetings in the next few weeks to put together a plan to identify key linkages between communities, trails and parks systems within the Mat-Su Valley.

The information gathered will be included in the Mat-Su Trails Master Plan, which will be used by the Mat-Su Trails and Parks Foundation as an internal planning tool to direct its priorities for building an integrated trail system in the borough.

The non-profit Mat-Su Trails and Parks Foundation was formed in 2011 to work with user groups, the borough and other agencies to build, fund and maintain Mat-Su trails and parks.
