Southeast Alaska Trail System (SEAtrails Inc.) today invited grant applications for trail and trail-related projects in Southeast Alaska.

“We plan to address on-the-ground trail projects and signage with our second round of trail grants,” says Ryan McFarland, SEAtrails board chair. “We will award grants based on how closely the project aligns with the SEAtrails Trails and Transportation Master Plan, the SEAtrails Capital Improvement Plan and other criteria.” PDFs of both plans and the criteria list are posted on the SEAtrails website, www.seatrails.org. Grant recipients will operate under a reimbursable agreement in partnership with the Organized Village of Kasaan.

The application deadline is December 1st 2008.
