Join us for FREE summer guided wildlife walks! It’s going to be a “beary” good time!
Why we are doing this: Alaska has some incredible wildlife, and we want to get folks out to enjoy it and learn more about this magnificent place! Anything can happen, and every walk will be different.
What to bring:
water
adequate walking/hiking shoes
weather-appropriate gear
$5 for potential parking fees
bear spray
binoculars (helpful, but not required)
wildlife ID guides (helpful, but not required)
sense of adventure
flock of friends and/or family (of all ages!)
When this all happens: Wildlife walks will take place from 6-7pm, and we ask that you arrive 10-15 minutes early to sign a safety waiver. From 7-8pm, we will be spending time at local Anchorage brewery, King St. Brewing Company, to casually gather and chat about all things “wild.” You can attend the walk, the brewery, or both!
Who can attend: Anyone with a sense of curiosity and love for wildlife! Trails will range from easy to moderate in difficulty, and walks will likely be no more than two miles. There will be many breaks to look at wildlife or anything else of interest. Please note, dogs are unable to attend this walk (the boardwalk does not allow dogs at this particular site).
Where are we going: Potter Marsh Trail
What we could see: Many different birds such as waterfowl, migratory songbirds, and raptors, moose, porcupine, muskrats, bears, and more!
What to look for when you arrive: Look for our team in AWA shirts near the trailhead. We will have clipboards, safety waivers, and smiles!
Attend five of the six events and get some free swag!
If you have any questions, please contact our Outreach Coordinator, Kelsey, for more information.
We look forward to seeing you out on the trails!
