Interior Alaska Trails and Parks Foundation

Interior Alaska Trails and Parks Foundation will coordinate or otherwise aid the expeditious completion of user-group- driven projects and provide opportunities for partnerships with community organizations and volunteers desiring to contribute to the development or maintenance of trails and parks, new or ongoing conservation, recreation, or other programs, special events, facilities, or services.
a. To receive gifts, legacies, and other devices to be used for developing, maintaining and integrating a system of trails, park lands, programs, facilities, and services within the greater Fairbanks area and beyond.
b. To support continued development and implementation of a formalized trail management plan that engages a variety of user groups and educate users in the requirements and responsibilities of users within the Fairbanks North Star Borough. The Foundation will also, endeavor to educate the public on the locations of trails, trail heads and trail etiquette of multi-use trails.
c. To promote, publicize, and encourage better understanding, appreciation, and support for public trails and parks and their basic values including health, economic, and environmental benefits that accrue to the overall quality of life within the greater Fairbanks area and beyond.
d. To provide sustainable financial support and assistance to build and improve existing and future trails, parks, programs, services, and facilities in our area.

Our volunteer Board of Directors relies entirely on donations to make trail work happen. Trails in Alaska are critical to all we do: hunting, fishing, homesteading and recreational activities for Alaska's diverse user groups. Our goal is to commit money to trail building and maintenance, an area of critical need all through Alaska. We directly spend on trail work and fund user-directed projects via grants.
