Wilderness League opens Fairbanks office

The Alaska Wilderness League has opened an office in Fairbanks to track issues on federal Bureau of Management Lands in the Interior.

The Washington, D.C.-based conservation group told the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner the office will work on securing wilderness designations in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska on the North Slope and on other BLM lands in the eastern Interior.

Thirty-seven-year-old Darcie Warden will serve as outreach coordinator in the one-person Fairbanks office.

BLM district manager Bob Schneider in Fairbanks said the agency welcomes input from the Alaska Wilderness League, just as it does from all public organizations.

The Alaska Wilderness League was formed in 1993 to protect Alaska’s public lands from development. The League already had offices in Anchorage and Juneau.
