Creamer’s Field Migratory Waterfowl Refuge
Fairbanks, Alaska
Friends of Creamer's Field is a community based nonprofit organization dedicated to historical preservation and natural history education at Creamer's Field Migratory Waterfowl Refuge, Fairbanks, Alaska. Friends of Creamer's Field operates in cooperation with The Alaska Department of Fish and Game.
Welcome to Friends of Creamer’s Field
OPEN THE BARNS TO THE PUBLIC !!
Sign our petition to show public support of this project to our local and state leaders. You can sign the petition at the Farmhouse Visitor Center or Here.
Friends of Creamer’s Field and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG) are working together on the construction and location details of the new storage facility. The planned location for this facility is between the west fields and the Fairgrounds with construction beginning in 2010. Once this facility is built, ADFG will remove their storage from in and around the barns, paving the way for Friends of Creamer’s Field to open these historic structures to public viewing.
