Ski Club Applies for Grant to Improve Birch Hill Trails

The Nordic Ski Club of Fairbanks is applying for a Recreational Trails Program grant. If the club is successful, the grant would pay for required maintenance upgrades to the existing trail system at Birch Hill Recreation Area and on adjacent Ft. Wainwright land. The goal is to provide maximum trail sustainability, safety and durability, while also achieving maintenance and usability efficiencies for use as winter Nordic skate/classic trails and seasonally approved non-motorized recreation activities. The work on this project would take place between October 1, 2021, and October 1, 2023.
