Join us in supporting the Bureau of Land Management in delivering high
quality outdoor science programs for everyone. Help us protect the trails and
wild ecosystems of the Campbell Tract, which serves as one of Anchorage's
premiere recreational areas and outdoor classrooms.
What do the Friends of the Campbell Creek Science Center do?
Friends are people who enjoy the Campbell Tract and its trails and work to
protect its value as a wild place. The 730-acre Campbell Tract provides
important habitat for local wildlife, such as salmon, moose, brown and black
bear, lynx, coyote, beaver, and many songbirds. The tract also offers premiere
recreational opportunities and serves as an outdoor classroom where 40,000
annual visitors to the science center explore, study, and learn to care for the
natural world.
Friends support programs that engage students of all ages in experiential
learning. We believe that direct experience of natural ecosystems inspires
curiosity, awe, and wonder in the natural world. Such appreciation and
understanding is critical for the development of a stewardship ethic toward
public lands, wildlife, and all wild places.
Friends volunteer at the science center and on the Campbell Tract assisting
with education programs, conducting ecosystem monitoring surveys, maintaining
recreational trails, and working on habitat restoration projects.
