Valley Mountain Bikers and Hikers wants to ensure there are many miles of sustainable trails in the Matanuska-Susitna Valley for hikers and mountain bikers. Every day trails are being lost to development or damaged by the reckless use of off-highway vehicles. It is disheartening to see trails that we used to hike and bike diminished to muddy, rutted scars across the landscape; or gone altogether due to the rapid development our community is experiencing.

We send out alerts and information when trail issues arise in our community. We coordinate lobbying efforts and provide contact lists of state and local legislators and agencies so that you know who to call or write.

Local issues that are currently a concern are the proposed gravel pit on the Experiment Farm, part of the Matanuska Greenbelt area; and the Jonesville Public Use Area Draft Management Plan.
