Flocking to Fairbanks: Alaskan Dairy Farm Now a Waterfowl Sanctuary

Creamer’s Field Migratory Waterfowl Refuge recently gained over 500 acres of important wetland habitat and recreational trails in Fairbanks, Alaska. Once a working dairy farm, the Refuge now attracts thousands of visitors each year who come to view over 60 different species of migrating birds.

A Historic Effort: Minnesota Gains 72,000-acre Heritage Forest

We recently purchased 72,440 acres of forestland from PotlatchDeltic Corp. in Minnesota—one of the state’s largest conservation acquisitions to date. Our purchase is the first step in a larger strategy to preserve important working forestlands, safeguard jobs, help mitigate climate change, protect water quality and wildlife habitat, contribute to local economies, and expand opportunities for outdoor recreation—a nearly $17 billion industry in Minnesota.

Return to Us: Restoring Alaska’s Eklutna River

After years of mistreatment, returning the Eklutna River back to a vibrant, fish-filled ecosystem has been a long, yet fulfilling challenge. From removing an old dam, to pouring buckets of water back into the river by hand—restoring Eklutna has taken a village. Our recent short film tells the beautiful story of this valuable river’s restoration.

Stories like these would not be possible without support from our donors. If you are inspired, please give today. Your unrestricted donation offers the greatest flexibility for conservation and makes a big impact. Thank you.
