For the final part of our series on Alaska’s coastal wetlands, follow us to Yakutat - a place where birds & people rely on the land to survive. Here, everything is interconnected, from Aleutian terns that travel between land & sea to the people who call it home. @AKForestService

Just across from Wrangell, Alaska, hundreds of thousands of shorebirds stop each spring on the mudflats of the Stikine River Delta. See how this ecosystem supports wildlife & local people in this second of three videos about Alaskan coastal ecosystems I produced this past year.
“Our people were one with the land. We ebbed & flowed with the seasons.” For the people of Wrangell, AK, the Stikine ties the ecosystem together, supporting birds, fish, culture & people. Learn more in the next part of our series on Alaska's coastal wetlands w/ @AKForestService

So excited to launch the first of three beautiful videos sharing some of the magic in Alaska's coastal wetlands. In each short video, you'll see the landscapes and meet some of the people that live & work where migratory birds fly when they head north. Watch now: On the Delta
Each year, millions of migratory birds rest and fuel up on the Copper River Delta. We’re thrilled to share the first part of our series on Alaskan coastal wetlands, highlighting the role the Delta plays in both the Pacific Flyway & in the community & culture of Cordova, AK.
