First organized in the fall of 1995, the Southeast Alaska Land Trust is a private, nonprofit corporation that works with willing private land owners and communities to ensure vital natural areas remain in place for the well-being of each generation. SEALTrust secures conservation agreements on properties with recreational, habitat, open space, or cultural values. We seek grants from foundations and government agencies to finance our conservation projects, and we depend on donor support and membership contributions to pay for operating costs.

Current projects include:

• Acquiring private in holding for addition to Pt. Bridget State Park
• Adding part of the Boy Scout camp lands to Amalga Meadows Natural Area Park
• Conserving two natural areas in the Ketchikan Gateway Borough
• Preserving public values of accreted lands around the Mendenhall Wetlands State Game Refuge
• A park requisition on Sawmill Creek in Haines

SEALTrust relies on the generosity of donors to support operations. Our current goal is to raise $30,000 to continue work on the above mentioned projects. This $30,000 in operating funds will help us realize the benefit of the $1,000,000 currently held in restricted contributions for S.E. conservation projects.

Your donations are much appreciated. Please contact Diane at setrust@ptialaska.net or visit our web site at www.southeastalaskalandtrust.org.
