During this season of thankfulness we are reminded of the immense privilege it is to do the work that we do on the Alaska Peninsula and Becharof National Wildlife Refuges. We acknowledge all that connects us - wildlife and lands, cultures and ways of life, and all across an incredibly vast landscape of rolling tundra, braided rivers, glacial lakes, towering mountains, active volcanoes, and rugged sea cliffs. Here are just a few of the beautiful places our boots have been this past year. (Be sure to scroll through the images for descriptions in the captions!)
