REI Trail Days in Chugach State Park and Clean Up Day on the Kenai River are examples. March for Parks March for Parks began in the Lower 48. Alaska State Parks joined in the spring of 1991. Each year, volunteers obtain pledges for their march along Turnagain Arm Trail from Potter to McHugh. All funds have gone to the Park Watch program.
Organizations sign an agreement to maintain trails.
The agreement states how Parks will support the group and what maintenance work the group will do. Anchorage Snowmobile Club, King Career Center - ASD, REI, and Mountain Bike Division of the Arctic Bike Club are some of the associations who have signed on. YSI arranges trips and projects for groups of young people throughout the world. Boy Scouts have helped with various projects for State Parks. Often, a Boy Scout member will organize a trail project to earn his eagle patch.
