MAT-SU — A handful of volunteers spent several days working earlier this month to repair a section of the Plumley-Maude Trail damaged in 2010 when McRoberts Creek jumped its banks during flood stage and formed an alternate channel at the McRoberts Creek Bridge.
Volunteers repaired about 800 feet of Plumley-Maude Trail to the south of the McRoberts Creek Bridge and a bioengineered plug that directed the flow of McRoberts Creek back into the main channel.
The Plumley-Maude reconstruction and the McRoberts Creek Restoration was undertaken with the financial support of the Chickaloon Native Village, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, ConocoPhillips Alaska, Alaska Department of Fish and Game funded by NOAA through Fish and Game’s Alaska Sustainable Salmon Fund, and the Mat-Su Borough. It required the coordinated effort of these organizations to correct the problem.
Jack Campbell said the project was completed July 14 under the management of the Mat-Su Trails Council.
Contributions for trail work can be sent to the Council at PO Box 2356, Palmer AK 99645.
