ABOUT THE BLM CAMPBELL CREEK SCIENCE CENTER

Located at 5600 Science Center Drive in Anchorage, Alaska, the Campbell Creek Science Center engages all learners in outdoor experiences that increase appreciation, connection, and stewardship of Alaska’s public lands and natural resources.

The Campbell Creek Science Center supports statewide outreach for environmental education, interpretation, and youth engagement for the Bureau of Land Management Alaska. We provide environmental education programs and resources for children and adults, including distance learning, field trips and on location events, and professional development training in interpretation, engagement, place-based service learning, and natural resources guiding skills. CCSC works with BLM-AK offices and partners across the state. 

The Center is located on the BLM Campbell Tract, a 730-acre parcel of public land with diverse habitats, wildlife, native vegetation and 12 miles of recreational trails in the heart of Anchorage.  It is operated by the BLM Anchorage District Office with assistance from many volunteers and partners.
