The open space corridor in Goldstream Valley, north of Fairbanks, got more land added to it this year. A citizen conservation group, the Interior Alaska Land Trust, acquired two big chunks of land, preserving them from development and adding to a public trail system.

Fairbanks, AK - The National Park Service released its compendiums for 2013 this week (Monday).  They outline this year’s designations, closures and restrictions for national parks and preserves.   Some of the changes to Alaska’s compendiums this year come in response to state policies regarding predators like wolves and bears.
