Alaska State Parks is currently accepting applications for vacancies on three Kenai Peninsula state park advisory boards. The Kenai River Special Management Area, Kachemak Bay State Park, and Seward State Parks advisory boards are seeking volunteers to serve three-year terms, beginning July 2022.
Jack Blackwell, superintendent of the Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation, Kenai Peninsula/Prince William Sound Region:
“We are looking for a variety of recreation enthusiasts and public land advocates interested in advising parks staff and helping the parks teams manage communication with the public.”
The advisory boards are the primary method that Alaska State Parks incorporates public involvement with park management and development issues. Volunteers that serve on these advisory boards help park managers better understand concerns from local communities and stakeholders. Those selected will serve from July 2022 through June 2025. The board typically meets once a month between September and May. The meetings are open to the public.
If you would like to serve on a board fill out the Alaska State Park Advisory Board Application provided here, or Chugach State Park Advisory Board Application and mail to your local Park Office. Applications are being accepted through March 31, 2022.
