Wildlife Wednesdays

Learning about wildlife is the first step in protecting it, and at our free Wildlife Wednesday presentations you’re sure to learn something new! These free events start with a short presentation from a wildlife expert and are followed by a period of Q & A. Every Wednesday features a different wildlife topic, so there’s always something for everyone! Currently, we host Wildlife Wednesdays in Anchorage and online!

First Wednesday of the month: Southeast Chapter Wildlife Wednesdays in Juneau (online)

Second Wednesday of the month: Anchorage Wildlife Wednesdays in partnership with Alaska Zoo, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, US Fish and Wildlife Service, Alaska Geographic, and NOAA Fisheries. Click here for the 2023 lecture schedule!
