Hunting in Alaska National Preserves
Alaska's wild lands provide exceptional, remote hunting experiences.
NATIONAL PRESERVES in Alaska are managed similarly to national parks, except that hunting for sport and subsistence is allowed as described in the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act passed by Congress in 1980.
Alaska national preserves offer an opportunity to hunt in some of the wildest places in our country. These wild lands of over 19 million acres offer exceptional, remote experiences. The National Park Service (NPS) protects wildlife and their habitats that support the opportunity to hunt. All harvest activities must be consistent with NPS laws and regulations intended to maintain natural ecological processes and naturally functioning ecosystems.
