ANCHORAGE

About a decade ago, Anchorage had a Soil and Water Conservation District that ended up closing its doors and since then there hasn't been an active District representing Anchorage, Eagle River, Chugiak, or Girdwood. Our neighboring partners such as Palmer, Wasilla, and Homer Soil and Water Conservation Districts have sometimes tried to fill in the gap by doing work within the Anchorage District boundaries, but there was still a large unmet need for natural resource conservation work which Soil and Water Conservation Districts are uniquely suited for. When we became officially recognized as an active District again, we found that many agencies and other natural resource groups were thrilled to have an Anchorage Soil and Water Conservation District active again to work with to address natural resource problems locally and even statewide, as Anchorage is the transportation and supply hub for Alaska... The Anchorage Soil and Water Conservation District was re-started in November of 2021..
