Approximately 45 minutes on the Seward Highway we arrived to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. The center opened to the public in 1993. It is located on 140 acres at the southern edge of Turn-again Arm and the entrance to Portage Valley. The center’s mission is to provide care and rehabilitation for injured and orphaned wildlife and to provide wildlife education and awareness. Animals that are unable to be released or survive in the wild are given refuge in the center’s spacious habitats.
