Alaska Bird Observatory

City: Fairbanks
Tel: +1 907 451 7159
Boreal Partners in Flight is a coalition of individuals who are working together to help conserve bird populations throughout boreal regions of North America. Boreal Partners in Flight is the official Alaska state working group of the international Partners in Flight program. We also have many members from Canada because we share many of the same species, habitats, and problems. The international program was started in 1990 because of concerns about continental declines in populations of many landbird species. Initially the program focused on species that breed in North America and winter in the Neotropics (Central and South America) but it now addresses all North American landbirds and other species that use terrestrial habitats, such as shorebirds, owls and grouse.Boreal Partners in Flight has over 100 members, including representatives from all the major federal land and resource managers in Alaska and Canada, state and provincial agencies, universities, Alaska Native corporations, and local environmental consulting firms. Nongovernmental organizations such as the Alaska Bird Observatory, Alaska Natural Heritage Program, and local chapters of the National Audubon Society play key roles. The foundation of the program, however, relies on the commitment of individuals. Boreal Partners in Flight includes biologists, land managers, teachers, and birders--a diverse, active, and dedicated group.

Black Diamond Golf
City: Healy
Tel: +1 907 683 4653
Black Diamond Golf Course takes its' name from the historic Diamond Strip Mine. The Diamond Mine was developed in 1943 as part of the war minerals program of the US government and was instrumental in easing the coal shortages resulting from World War II. The coal lies in a formation known as the Nenana coal bed, a foot hill belt boarded in the south by the high rugged masses of the Alaska Range and to the north by the broad flats of the Tanana Valley. The coal was hauled by truck five miles down a gravel road to the small railroad town of Healy (established as a mining camp in about 1905) where the railway transported it to Fairbanks for use by the US Army. Although no longer active, and partially reclaimed by the forces of nature, the Diamond Mine and its' effect on the history of this area is still visible for all to see!

Hallo Bay Bear Camp

Hallo Bay Wilderness is designed to be a wildlife and wilderness experience a true Alaska wilderness experience. which offers a limited number of people the opportunity to walk amongst the giant brown bears. No one leaves without the feeling of a true wilderness experience and lives are touched by the memories made here.Established in 1994, Hallo Bay was designed to be a trend setting model of responsibility and low impact to this environment. Our guests observe the bears in their natural habitat. There are no viewing platforms or man-made trails at Hallo Bay. The total number of guests at Hallo Bay on any given day is 8-10 and they are further divided into two sub groups of usually 4-5 people per group with each sub group having its own guide. It is our experience that 5 people (4 guests-1 guide) are much less impacting than large groups of people on any wilderness outing. The smaller group size intimidates wildlifeless and leaves a much less impacting footprint on the local habitat.The bear observation out in the field is conducted under the direction of our professional guides whose primary duties include the safety of our guests and the continued preservation of this unique area and its magnificent wildlife. Along with our guides, the camp personnel play a very important role in preserving this wilderness area. Unlike other operations which utilize bear traumatizing high voltage electric fences, rubber bullets and mace type sprays to discourage bears, Hallo Bay denies bears the opportunity to learn bad habits, but does not discourage their natural curiosity of their surroundings. Thus it iscommon to see bears in the camp, but in ten years of operation we have never had a bear cause damage. Hallo Bay personnel utilize the experience and the vast knowledge gained by many years along with lots of common sense to co-exist with these bears in a peaceful and serene environment.While Hallo Bay personnel do everything reasonably possible to maintain and protect this pristine wilderness area, we also need the understanding and cooperation of our guests in order to do it in a manner beneficial to the habitat and wildlife it contains.

Fisherman's Choice Charters is a long time Alaska Salmon Fishing Charter service located in south central Alaska. Alaska's Matanuska-Susitna Valley is just a short drive north of Anchorage en route to Alaska's famous Denali National Park. At Fisherman's Choice Charters our Coast Guard Licensed fishing guides offer personal, one-on-one fishing instruction to the inexperienced salmon and trout fisherman, yet offer the freedom of the river to those more skilled. We provide our fishing clients with top quality spinning gear, or fly-fishing rods for the more adventurous fisherman.

Alaska's Legend Lodge is located 250 miles Southwest of Anchorage on the Alaskan Peninsula in the world famous Bristol Bay Fishery. Each year millions of Salmon migrate up the rivers to spawn and die. Their eggs are deposited in the gravel river beds to begin a new life cycle. This provides fishermen with an incredible opportunity to fish not only for Salmon but also for the hordes of other species of fish which depend on their rich bounty of eggs and carcasses.Legend Lodge specializes in fly fishing for trophy Rainbow Trout, Silver Rainbows, Silver Salmon, Sockeye Salmon, King Salmon, Char, Northern Pike, & Grayling in waters far away from the crowds of anglers that now populate some of Alaska's other fisheries.

Attour Inc
City: Jigh land Park
Tel: +1 847 831 0207
For many years, knowledge of bird migration in the Near Islands was only fragmentary, since they had been visited only sporadically by scientists. Then in the late 1970's, Dan Gibson of the University of Alaska Museum did the first intensive studies of spring and fall migration in the Near Islands, on Shemya Island. And beginning in the late 1970's, we began annual spring visits to Attu Island that have continued to this day. We now have a much more complete picture of bird distribution in the Aleutians.

The menu may include sauteed apples in a hot cinnamon sauce or fresh local raspberries and cream. From the bedside diaries, guest's favorite entrees are the dungeness crab eggs benedict on home baked rolls, or the lemon souffle hotcakes and thick cut smoked ham. Linger and enjoy the coffee and conversation in a unrushed atmosphere.
