McNeil River Sanctuary
In our ever shrinking world, even the wildest places need protection from the heavy hand of man. As remote as McNeil River seems, it is not free from the threat of development, habitat destruction, well-meaning but poorly designed "enhancement" projects, and noise pollution. Friends of McNeil River was formed to address some of these problems.

McNeil River is special
Each person who visits McNeil River and has the privilige to walk among these "people neutral" bears comes away with a new understanding of brown bears. McNeil River sanctuary has done more to educate the world about brown bears than any other single thing - it is a gift and a treasure beyond value.
Who we are
Friends of McNeil River is a diverse bunch - doctors, dentists, lawyers, writers, photographers, biologists, guides, teachers, pilots, and just plain outdoor enthusiasts. They all have something in common: they are concerned about the welfare of Alaska's world famous McNeil River State Game Sanctuary and its magnificent Brown Bears.
Our Purpose
Friends of McNeil River's primary purpose is the preservation of the sanctuary's bears and their habitat and to have a voice in its future.
