Wildlife Conservation Center(AWCC) is a non-profit
organization that provides refuge for orphaned,
injured and ill animals, takes care of animals that
cannot survive in the wild, and educates visitors
about Alaska's wildlife.We opened to the public in
1993 and is located on 140 acres at the southern edge
of Turnagain Arm and the entrance to Portage Valley.
AWCC's mission is to provide care and rehabilitation
for injured and orphaned wildlife and to provide
wildlife education and awareness. The center is open
everyday, year-round. Animals that are unable to be released or survive in the wild are given refuge in the center's spacious habitats. Here people can safely get close, observe and photograph some of Alaska's largest land animals, including moose, bison, elk, deer, caribou, bears muskox, small mammals and birds of prey. During spring and summer, visitors can often witness the rehabilitation of orphaned baby animals of various species. |
