STEWARDING A ROBUST TRAIL NETWORK
FOR A CONNECTED COMMUNITY
Homer, Alaska
COME WALK WITH US!
WHO WE ARE
HTA is a non-profit of avid hiking enthusiasts. We are working together to promote, maintain, and build sustainable trails in the Homer area on the north side of Kachemak Bay.
With our passion for hiking and walking, a deep appreciation for the heritage of Alaska Natives and homesteaders, and a commitment to preserving wildlife corridors, we are ensuring pedestrian pathways and trails are accessible and extensive.
HTA coordinates trail maintenance work parties, works with private landowners and government departments to blaze new trails, designs signage and maps, and collaborates with our community partners like Kachemak Nordic Ski Club, and Homer Soil and Water Conservation District. We are committed to working with our community members to wisely plan for long-term maintenance and trail development according to community input.
Together with our partners, we envision a robust trail network as a gift to future generations.
