The recent acquisition of a 40 acre land parcel that stretches across Ballaine Road, just north of Goldstream Creek, is an exciting piece of conservation work for the Interior Alaska Lands Trust, also known as IALT.
The trust has been in existence since 1995, and has made significant contributions toward its mission of conserving land north of the Alaska Range for the benefit of the community. The trust has been adding land, parcel by parcel, in the Goldstream Valley in order to help bring about the vision of a Goldstream Valley Greenbelt in conjunction with almost 2,000 acres of the Goldstream Valley that are already protected by the Goldstream Public Use Area.
