Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center

Bison at Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center.

A nonprofit wildlife center where injured and rescued animals are on display. Particularly of interest are the wood bison, the only herd in the US. They are part of a program to reintroduce the extinct-in-Alaska breed. It's also a good spot to see a bear or moose if you haven't yet. A new education building was being built at research time.
