Susitna River, Alaska | Sarah Ann Loreth
Originating from glacial headwaters in the Alaska Range near Denali, southcentral Alaska’s Susitna River is one of the most pristine rivers in the United States and supports the fastest-growing population in the state. Home to an abundance of fish and wildlife, the river plays an important role for Alaska Native communities and also powers a strong economy dependent on fishing and hunting. But the construction of an industrial access road to allow for mining and oil and gas development threatens the area’s natural wealth and all who benefit from a healthy river.
If this road is built, there will be no return. We must halt federal funding and expedited permitting for this destructive road project.
Use your voice to protect the Susitna’s irreplaceable fisheries, water quality, and communities.
Sign this petition opposing the roadway during the permitting process, emphasizing potential impacts on clean water, cultural resources, fish migration, local economies, and the intact natural landscape of this remarkable region.
