Alaska frontiers magazine Fall 2017 - Issue 127

Welcome to Issue 127 of BLM Alaska frontiers! In this issue from recreation to firefighting, you can experience Alaska ‘Out of the Office’. While our 2017 fire season was impacted by a wet and rainy summer for much of Alaska, our firefighters and staff volunteers went to help with the extreme fire season in the Lower 48. We hosted and partnered to bring youth and families from our communities on hikes and experiences on our public lands. From the 2017 National Boy Scout Jamboree to summer youth programs in the Copper River Basin or along the Dalton Highway, a teacher on the public lands, installing seismic monitors, reclaiming lands from mining, or teaching cruise ship staff about Alaska’s flora, fauna, geology, and more – it was a busy summer Out of the Office. We hope you enjoy this issue.
