The National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) is a non-profit organization based in Anchorage, AK, dedicated to protecting and preserving America's national parks, with a specific focus on the parks in Alaska. With a small but dedicated staff, the Alaska Regional Office works tirelessly to safeguard the wild ecosystems and rich cultural heritage unique to the state's national parks, such as Denali, Katmai, and Glacier Bay. They raise awareness of the economic benefits that park visitors bring to the local and state level, while also advocating for the protection of park resources and wildlife from aggressive predator control tactics.
Through partnerships with organizations like Subaru of America and the National Park Service, the Alaska office also implements innovative initiatives to reduce waste and improve recycling in parks like Denali. Additionally, they actively engage in trail repair projects in Wrangell-St. Elias, ensuring both recreational access and access for rural families practicing traditional subsistence ways of life. Despite past successes, the staff of the Alaska office remains committed to their critical work in protecting Alaska's national parks for future generations.
