What is Alaska Geographic’s connection to public lands?
We were founded in1959 with the support of the National Park Service and today have formal written agreements with six public lands agencies: National Park Service, USDA Forest Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Alaska State Parks, Bureau of Land Management, and U.S. Geological Survey. We directly support public lands agency programs through revenue earned in bookstores. We offer joint experiential education programs on the lands themselves, and we help create constituencies of supporters for Alaska’s wild places.
