Chugach Children's Forest

Get Out. Go Wild.  Change the Future.

Welcome to Alaska Geographic and the Chugach National Forest’s unique partnership for education–the Chugach Children’s Forest!

Despite the abundance of wild places in Alaska, many Alaskan youth have never ventured outside their local communities to explore Alaska’s vast expanse of public lands. The Chugach Children’s Forest empowers and enables Alaska youth to explore these wild places that are so close, yet so far.
