The Palmer Hay Flats State Game Refuge is 45 square miles of wetlands, forests, lakes, and tidal sloughs located 30 minutes north of Anchorage. Many different animals, including ducks, geese, sandhill cranes, moose, muskrats, salmon, and many others call it home. Alaskans from all walks of life make the Refuge one of the most important and cherished recreation areas in Alaska.

We are seeking self-nominations for Board members! If you are passionate about the Hay Flats and want to help lead the organization, please consider applying to be a Board member. We welcome and encourage a variety of interests and perspectives.

We are honored to announce an exciting project! This effort will develop a site plan for a Dena’ina and Ahtna Cultural Interpretive Trail on the Scout Ridge Loop.
