Institute of the North to offer ANILCA training

The Institute of the North will host a (virtual) training on the Alaska Na - tional Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) from Feb. 23-26. If you haven’t taken this training, do it. If you have, ensure your col- leagues, employees and peers know they should. We truly believe this should be required learning for many occupations in Alaska. From the course: “Recommend- ed for Federal agencies with ANILCA implementation responsibilities, state and local land and resource manag- ers, Native corporations, tribal enti- ties, rural residents, inholders, as well as community leaders, policy makers, consultants, news media, the academic community, and interested public.” Several longtime AMA friends like Dick Mylius, Sally Gibert and Tina

Cunning are involved in building and presenting this course, which will take place over four half days. Learn more and sign up here: in- stitutenorth.org/engage/events/an - ilca-training. What is ANILCA? Through ANILCA, Congress desig - nated new national parklands, wildlife refuges, wilderness areas, and other conservation lands in Alaska; for a total of 139 million acres (more than one third of the state). Congress balanced the un - precedented scale of these designations with similarly unprecedented accom- modations for Alaskans’ way of life and reliance on a resource-based economy.

ANILCA Training Objectives Seek a greater understanding of this sweeping legislation and its influ - ence on conservation policy, business opportunities, Alaska residents’ way of life, resource development, and public land management in Alaska. Understanding ANILCA assists both federal managers and non-federal stakeholders in finding implementa - tion solutions that continue to balance conservation and Alaska’s unique cir - cumstances. Participation by multiple agencies and non-federal stakeholders enriches the learning experience. Recommended for Federal agen- cies with ANILCA implementation re - sponsibilities, state and local land and resource managers, Native corpora- tions, tribal entities, rural residents, inholders, as well as community lead- ers, policy makers, consultants, news media, the academic community, and interested public. Instructors More than a dozen presenters with federal and non-federal subject matter expertise and ANILCA experience. Cost General registration is $575. Tuition includes four half-days of live online instruction, mailed copy of ANILCA & Amendments; presentation and other supporting documents; and a portable USB drive with an extensive collection of relevant laws, regulations and other reference materials. There is a nonrefundable $75 de - posit fee and there are no refunds, un- less a replacement can be found. Fed- eral employees must register through DOIU Talent through this link. Training Schedule The ANILCA training will take place online, via Zoom, daily from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 23 to Fri - day, Feb. 26.Please register to ensure enough time to distribute curriculum materials in advance. No in-person ANILCA Trainings are scheduled until further notice due to COVID-19.
