The greatest intact forests remaining in Cascadia are found in the north. South-east and south-central Alaska are home to some of the vastest wild, temperate forests in the world, including the Tongass and Chugach National Forests, Prince William Sound, and the Wrangell St. Elias.
Wild Alaska offers models for sustainable living and proof that conservation pays. Wild salmon fisheries, subsistence lifestyles, and ecotourism depend on the beauty of Alaska’s unspoiled wilderness.
Bringing lessons of the lower 48 north to the Last Frontier, the Cascadia Wildlands Project has maintained a field office in the small fishing hamlet of Cordova, Alaska, since 1998. Our on-the-ground presence helps to keep the Last Frontier alive and thriving. We aggressively monitor and challenge threatening logging, oil drilling, mining, road building, and industrial tourism developments in Cascaida's northern reaches.
Be sure to visit our Alaska field office blog for recent developments in our conservation work and photos that showcase the Last Frontier. And don't miss the Whole Truth Campaign website for information on efforts to hold Exxon accountable for the 1989 oil spill that crippled the local economy and the biological diversity in Prince William Sound.
