    AMHA Hiking and Nature Trail

    The hiking and nature trail is in memory of Perry Steria, former board director. While he was a director, Perry expressed a desire for AMHA to have its own trail. After he died suddenly from a car accident in February 2014, his wife Beth designated a fund for the start of this trail. We are appreciative of board director Neil Keib over the past several years for leading the work and for the many volunteers who have and will continue to expand and improve the trail.
