Great Land Trust
Great Land Trust is a nonprofit founded in 1995 by Alaskans for Alaskans to conserve and steward our most valuable lands and waterways in Southcentral Alaska. With the help of our community, GLT has conserved 40 miles of salmon streams; protected unique places like the Fish Creek and Campbell Creek Estuaries; created seven Anchorage parks, and established six access points to Chugach State Park and the Palmer Hay Flats State Game Refuge. Great Land Trust permanently conserves access to healthy places to fish, hunt and recreate, ensuring the Alaskan way of life for future generations.
