The Chena Slough Technical Committee implemented a three phase restoration approach consisting of 1) assessment/reestablishment of fish passage, 2)stream channel and road-crossing restoration, and 3) evaluation of restoration success. <Read More>

 

Public and private landowners across the Fairbanks Soil and Water Conservation District are concerned with invasive plant infestations, commonly known as weeds. These infestations reduce the biological, agricultural, recreational, and economic value of the land, decrease native plant populations, and degrade ecosystems. For management efforts to be successful, a broadscale, coordinated and systematically integrated approach to managing these invasive plants is necessary.<Read More>

From the Governor:

Dear Fellow Alaskan,

 Energy efficient homes are safer, warmer and more affordable to run, and that’s why I signed into law last year the $360 million expansion of the state Weatherization and Energy Rebate programs, which are administered by the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation. I wanted to share with you some of the exciting developments that are happening all across Alaska with these programs.

 Please visit Home Energy Efficiency to find out about the progress we’ve made.

 Until next time,

 Governor Sarah Palin 

  • Special Thanks the Fairbanks Community for all your support!
