The
first parcel protected by the Land Trust was a 160-acre allotment at
the head of the Agulukpak River on Lake Beverley within Wood-Tikchik
State Park. The parcel, originally owned by Harvey Samuelson of Dillingham,
was sold to The Conservation
Fund. The Richard and Rhoda Goldman Fund provided financial assistance
for the purchase.
The
ownership of the parcel was conveyed to the State of Alaska subject
to a conservation easement conveyed to the Land Trust. The
easement prohibits permanent structures and limits the amount of
public use.
The
acquisition of the parcel protects an historic site as well as preserves
shoreline along one of Alaska’s most popular rainbow fishing
rivers. Robert Osborne provided a donation to the stewardship fund
for the perpetual protection of this property.
