It’s the last call for Alaskans who want to help advise the Division of Outdoor Parks & Recreation by joining one of the three Citizen Advisory Boards on the Kenai Peninsula: Seward, Kenai River Special Management Area (KRSMA), and Kachemak Bay.
The KRSMA was established in 1984 in response to the increasing public use and strain on the river system’s health; this advisory board continues to have a unique responsibility to guide Alaska State Parks policy in the region.
Recruitment for the KRSMA will close on April 15, 2025, though the other two application periods will remain open.
Interested Alaskans can apply for one of the Citizen Advisory Board seats online or by contacting the Kenai Prince William Sound Regional Headquarters at Morgan’s Landing (907-262-5581).
“Citizen Advisory Boards play an important role in assisting State Parks with management direction and provide the public with an opportunity to influence State Parks across the Region,” said Director of the Division, Ricky Gease.
