Due to heavy snowfall, AWCC is currently closed. We will continue to keep you informed as to when we will be able to open again.
We will be closed on weekdays and open on weekends during the months of January and February. We have lots of projects going on this winter, and we invite you to share them with us! You can follow our progress here, but surely it is best to come down to the Center and see for yourself.

The Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center
AWCC is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving Alaska's wildlife through public education. AWCC takes in injured and orphaned animals year-round and provides spacious enclosures and quality animal care. Animals that cannot be released into the wild are given a permanent home at the center.
AWCC provides visitors with the opportunity to view Alaskan wildlife up close.
Amateur photographers have the opportunity to take award winning photographs while animals display their natural, "wild", behavior. Coyotes peer out from behind the brush while a bald eagle swoops in on the salmon remains left by a grizzly bear. Wood Bison plod through 65 acres of tidal flat terrain, as part of a program that will one day restore the species to the Alaskan wilderness.
Come be a part of these exciting programs!
AWCC has provided care for hundreds of displaced animals because visitors like you have made critical contributions in the form of admission fees, donations, memberships, and
gift shop purchases. AWCC encourages you to visit the center with your walking shoes and camera in hand for an educational Alaskan experience to remember. We thank you in advance for your support and assistance in
preserving Alaskan wildlife.
