The Mat-Su Borough Trail Crew has been involved in a variety of trail projects across the Mat-Su this summer. We at Mat-Su Trails and Parks Foundation want to help spread the word about all the exciting projects they’ve been up to, working hard to care for all our wonderful outdoor recreational opportunities in the Mat-Su!
Thanks to Revel Treks and Tours for coordinating the event!
