State Budget Funding for the Alaska Long Trail
Alaska Trails and the coalition of partners have worked on securing funding for the Alaska Long Trail through the state capital budget since 2021. While only the Anchorage-area projects have been funded so far, we continue to seek state funding for trail projects along the length of the trail from Seward to Fairbanks.
4 trail projects received matching funds for federal grants.
4 projects were funded for work in Chugach State Park and Anchorage Municipality. Total of $1.1M.
3 projects were funded for work in Chugach State Park. Alaska Trails is the recipient for all three projects. Total of $1.434M.
7 projects were funded in the Anchorage area. Recipients were Chugach State Park, Muni of Anchorage (Girdwood Parks and Rec), and Anchorage Park Foundation. Total of $4.22M.
We are grateful to the state legislature and Governor Dunleavy for supporting these projects and recognizing the value of the Alaska Long Trail project for the Alaskan economy and communities.
