Expanding Access to Alaska’s Public Lands Through Public Use Cabins
A bold partnership between the National Forest Foundation and the US Forest Service to build and repair public-use cabins across Alaska’s National Forests — making outdoor recreation more accessible, while boosting local economies and supporting sustainable recreation.
What is the Alaska Cabins Project?
The6-year initiative focuses on building new cabins in easy to reach locations. These cabins offer safe, reliable places for people to experience Alaska’s landscapes and provide welcoming entry points into remote forest areas.
Why Build Public Use Cabins
Public-use cabins make Alaska’s forests more accessible to more people. By adding new cabins and strengthening existing ones, the project supports sustainable recreation, local communities, and year-round access to public lands. This work helps meet growing demand for safe, affordable outdoor experiences while ensuring these special places remain available for future generations.
Your donation helps build and public-use cabins that welcome people into Alaska’s forests. By supporting this project, you help create meaningful recreation opportunities, strengthen local communities, and ensure these wild places accessible for years to come.
Behind every project is a story about the people that love and rely on their National Forest for clean water, strong economies, and safe communities.
