One of the benefits of working at Trustees for Alaska is that my work often takes me out of my office, sometimes even to the incredible places that we work to protect. Soon after I started as an attorney at Trustees, I was fortunate to be invited on a trip to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. We spent 4 nights in the foothills of the Brooks Range, hiking and exploring the hills and braids of the Kongakut River. Surrounded by a landscape whose scale cannot be captured, the image that I return to often is that of a northern shrike nest, the speckled eggs nestled gently on a bed of ptarmigan feathers.
The February 2016 issue of Trustees for Alaska's Alaska Brief newsletter includes stories on the proposed Ambler Road, the Bristol Bay Watershed Assessment, Wishbone Hill expired mining permit, and the US Supreme Court hears the Yukon-Charley navigable waters case.
