The Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve hosts the most spectacular concentration of bald eagles in North America. During late fall and early winter, up to 3,000 bald eagles gather to feed on a late run of chum salmon in the Chilkat River. This wildlife spectacle is readily accessible from the town of Haines, attracting tourists and photographers from around the world. The Conservation Fund, with financial support from the Richard and Rhoda Goldman Fund and Alaska State Parks, purchased and protected a number of key tracts totaling more than 100 acres in the heart of the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve.
