Just wanted to let you know about meeting next month and try to answer some questions that are being asked. 1. Next meeting is Wed Nov 13, 5:30pm in Kerttula Hall, Matanuska Experiment Farm. If you need directions, they're at 1509 S Georgeson Drive and can be found on our trailhead map: http://goo.gl/maps/RAsI
. Kerttula Hall is the main building. Go in main door and turn left
into big room. Please try to arrive on time since some people have to
leave by 6:30pm. The Matanuska Greenbelt Association will be 5 yr old on
Dec 3. A lot has been accomplished, and a lot has changed. We'd like to
revisit where we've been and where we'd like to go. Please spread the
word.3. New maps are being worked on. These will include the new trails, relocated trailheads, new imagery, and a few things you may or may not notice in the .pdf but are very noticeable on the zoomable interactive maps. I'm still collecting pieces of information to put in new map. New maps will be included in new trailhead signs. Details of changes were included in last email: http://www.matanuska-greenbelt.org/announcements-1/mgtupdatessep252013 http://www.matanuska-greenbelt.org/announcements-1/foxtrailspublicnotice http://www.matanuska-greenbelt.org/announcements-1/crevasse-morainemasterplanbeforemsbparksrectrailsadvisoryboard http://www.uaf.edu/snras/research/afes/palmer-research-extension/N_Web_Master_Plan_Survey.pdf http://www.uaf.edu/snras/research/afes/palmer-research-extension/ for background. 7. Buy a Post. Several people have
asked about this. Right now we aren't accepting donations. (short
version of long story: we still have some money from fund raisers but no
opportunities for Buy a Posts right now.) I'm hoping there will be
opportunities in the future on new trails. We've talked about some
interpretive signs. We want to see what opportunities the group would
like. Thoughts? - come to the meeting on Nov 13 to discuss. 8. Trapping in MGT. There's been some
confusion about this. Trapping IS allowed in the Matanuska Lakes State
Recreation Area, but it IS NOT allowed on the other properties. A few
weeks ago there was a trapping class that included setting some traps on
the Farm, but they were to be monitored. Those people were legitimate
for that class, but only that time period. However, in general, trapping
is not allowed on the Farm, and if you see something, report it to the
Farm office. 9. Additions to email list. If you know of anyone who wants to be added to our email list, please have them email aktrailrun@matanuska-greenbelt.org It's *really* easy for me to add them from that address and
saves scribbling addresses on scraps of paper. That contact is also at
the bottom of our home page. I'll send out a reminder about the meeting closer to Nov 13 - and anything I forgot on this email.  |
