Beyond just creating jobs on trails, Sitka Trail Works now advocates for all modes of active transportation and outdoor recreation to ultimately foster improved health and well-being in the community.

Mission Statement

The Sitka Trail Works Board of Directors, staff and membership is dedicated to working efficiently and supportively with our partners to create, maintain and promote a beautiful, diversified and accessible trail system; as our gift to future generations.
