Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, AK

Point Possession, just 15 miles southwest of Anchorage, is a magnificent piece of wild Alaska. Its waters shelter major runs of red and silver salmon, and it is exceptional habitat for moose, brown and black bear, and tundra swans. In partnership with the Point Possession Native Group and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Fund helped secure 4,247 acres of the point, which lies within a designated wilderness area in Kenai National Wildlife Refuge.
