Our Mission
To enhance Alaskans’ quality of life by protecting wild places, fostering sustainable communities, and promoting recreational opportunities.
Our Vision
The natural environment is integral to Alaska’s history, politics, culture and quality of life. Alaskans depend on a healthy environment for subsistence, recreation, jobs, and peace of mind. As the state grows, it is essential that human development occurs in harmony with our natural environment.
Our Organization
Founded in 1971, the Alaska Center for the Environment (ACE) is a non-profit, tax-exempt, public interest organization which depends on its active board, members, interns and volunteers. ACE influences decisions through grassroots activism and education. ACE also provides support to individuals and groups tackling localized concerns and promoting new ideas.
Who We Serve
ACE's region of primary concern is one of the nation's most scenic and beloved areas - Southcentral Alaska. Reaching from the Alaska Range in the north to the coastal rainforests of Prince William Sound and the Copper River Delta in the south, from the fisheries of Bristol Bay in the west to the Wrangell Mountains in the east, this area includes many of Alaska's most treasured and highly visited wildlands in addition to being home to the majority of Alaskan residents. ACE is also a leading conservation group on selected statewide and national issues facing Alaska's environment.
