** Come Support Your Local Greenbelt**
2nd Annual Spring Fundraising Auction
March 30, 2008, Noon - 3pm
Pikes Waterfront Lodge, Fairbanks
The Chena Flats Greenbelt Project is a group of concerned area residents who have come together to protect a portion of the remaining open space along the base of Chena Ridge near Fairbanks, Alaska, before the area is fragmented by encroaching development.
Through conservation easements and land acquisitions from willing sellers, the Project seeks to establish a greenbelt that will provide easily accessible recreation for the Fairbanks community, conserve a portion of the remaining high-quality wetlands in the Fairbanks area for wildlife, promote surface- and ground-water quality, and protect a portion of the historic Chena town site. |

Formed in May of 2005, the Chena Flats Greenbelt Project has joined forces with the Interior Alaska Land Trust and the Conservation Fund to aquire contributions for the purchase of land and conservation easements, which will be necessary to make this idea a reality. See Latest News to read about our recent accomplishments.
