What is the winter speaker series? The Mat-Su Trails and Parks Foundation & Revel are hosting monthly educational lectures/presentations November 2024 through April 2025. Each month features a different topic with the goal of connecting locals to different recreation opportunities and stories from our area.

Our goal? We hope the series helps spark curiosity and encourages locals to ask questions, continue learning, and build community. If you have any questions about this event, the speaker series or have ideas for future presentations, please call us 907-903-1664.
