Join us at our upcoming Cruise for Public Lands event on September 27, 2025, in celebration of National Public Lands Day!
Now more than ever, our community must come together to invest in the next generation of public land stewards. Through our education programs, Alaska teens have the opportunity to engage directly with agency partners—learning, growing, and building the skills and passion needed to protect our state’s wild places.
These meaningful interactions are not just enriching—they’re essential. Ensuring these programs continue is vital for the future of Alaska’s public lands. Your support will help keep these life-changing programs strong.
Together, we can protect the future of Alaska’s natural heritage—one student at a time.
Our voyage will take us into the heart of Resurrection Bay, where dramatic coastal scenery meets rich natural history. You’ll sail past towering cliffs, sculpted rock spires, and secluded coves, all shaped by powerful glacial forces. Keep your eyes open—this protected corner of Kenai Fjords National Park is home to seabirds, marine mammals, and other wildlife that make these waters unforgettable.
