Forests & Wildlife

Alaska's forests, wildlife, rivers and public lands are all a part of what makes the Alaskan way of life so special.  That's why the Alaska Center for the Environment (ACE) works to protect our wild places.

By utilizing well-balanced conservation management practices, sustainable use of our natural resources, and public involvement, we can ensure that these wild places and the resources they support are protected for future generations.  Click on the links below to find out more.
