ReserveAlaska

ReserveAlaska is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and restoration of Alaska's natural and cultural heritage. Founded in 1974, the organization works to protect and manage Alaska's public lands, including national parks, wildlife refuges, and forests. ReserveAlaska's mission is to ensure that these lands remain accessible to the public for recreation, education, and scientific research.

The organization focuses on several key areas, including land acquisition, conservation easements, and public access. ReserveAlaska works with federal, state, and local governments, as well as private landowners, to acquire and protect lands that are critical to Alaska's natural and cultural heritage. The organization also works to ensure that these lands remain accessible to the public by advocating for policies that protect public access and by working with landowners to establish conservation easements.

ReserveAlaska's work has resulted in the protection of thousands of acres of land in Alaska, including the acquisition of the 1.2 million-acre Kenai National Wildlife Refuge in 1980. The organization also plays a key role in the management of Alaska's national parks and wildlife refuges, working with park managers to develop and implement conservation strategies.

In addition to its work on land conservation, ReserveAlaska also focuses on education and outreach. The organization works to raise awareness about the importance of Alaska's natural and cultural heritage and to educate the public about the threats facing these resources. ReserveAlaska also works to engage the public in conservation efforts, encouraging people to support land conservation through donations, volunteerism, and advocacy.

ReserveAlaska is headquartered in Anchorage, Alaska, and has a staff of approximately 20 employees. The organization is supported by a diverse group of donors, including individuals, foundations, and corporations. ReserveAlaska's work is guided by a board of directors, which includes representatives from a variety of backgrounds, including conservation, business, and government. The organization's work is also supported by a network of volunteers, who help with a variety of tasks, including land acquisition, education, and outreach.
