A new fund at the Homer Foundation is helping ensure local trails remain accessible, safe, and well-maintained for years to come. Based in Kachemak Bay, Snomads is a nonprofit dedicated to promoting outdoor recreation with family and friends, while encouraging the safe and responsible use of snowmachines and other off-road recreational vehicles.

Through volunteer efforts, community partnerships, and a strong commitment to public lands, Snomads works to maintain trail access for all users, provide safety and survival education, and support local search and rescue efforts. Their new fund will help sustain and grow this important work into the future.

“Snomads started this fund to create a reliable way for people to support trail maintenance, development, and access for all trail users in our area,” said Dave Mastolier Snomads Board President. “Whether it’s snowmachines, ATVs, skiers, hikers, or other recreational use, these trails require ongoing work, equipment, and coordination. This fund provides a simple, transparent way for both locals and visitors to contribute so people can continue to enjoy them for years to come.

We’ve built a strong foundation through volunteers and local partnerships over the years, and this fund helps ensure that work can continue well into the future.”
