Celebrating National Salmon Day!

Salmon has sustained Kodiak for thousands of years. It fills freezers and smokehouses, supports local jobs, and brings neighbors together every season. This National Salmon Day, we are grateful for the fish, the waters that nurture them, and the people who care for both.

What does salmon mean to your family and our local Kodiak community? Tell us in the comments.

Each year at the JSCF reception we draw a name from the attendees and they get to give out a $500 mini grant to one of the local nonprofits. This year the mini grant was awarded to The Friends of the Talkeetna Library Talkeetna Public Library. Thanks to Mike Palmer Community Foundation for choosing them and for coming up from Palmer to attend our reception!

Thank you for showing up, Kodiak.

We had such an outstanding turnout for our 20th Anniversary + 2026 Outdoor Film Festival! Roughly 300 members, friends, and neighbors came together to celebrate and watch some incredible films.

Together, we raised approximately $11,000 in membership donations, plus another $4,500 through this year’s buoy auction.

And a BIG thank you to our filmmakers, artists, donors, members, ITN Board members, and volunteers who made this celebration possible — especially: Katie Kesling, Betsy Lund, Sandra West, Phillip Tschersich, and Eric Linscheid.

We couldn’t do this without you. Thank you for 20 years of showing up and supporting your Island Trails Network.

Here’s to the next 20!

💛 Grant Impact Spotlight: The Folk School

A Golden Heart Community Foundation grant helped The Folk School provide free, hands-on craft classes for kids and teens across Interior Alaska.

Through the Youth Series, 126 young people participated in classes ranging from sewing, drawing, weaving, and printmaking to metalworking and outdoor skills. The program also created opportunities for youth and adults to learn together, building skills, confidence, and connections along the way.

We’re proud to support programs that give local youth opportunities to get creative, learn something new, and connect with their community.
