Anchorage Audubon Matching Donation Challenge
for Potter Marsh Watershed Park

The Anchorage Audubon Society has issued an incredible Matching Donation Challenge to help bring the Potter Marsh Watershed Park to life.

This visionary project will create a 300-acre park directly above Potter Marsh, between Old Seward Highway and Goldenview Drive, safeguarding critical habitat for birds and wildlife while providing recreational opportunities for our community.

Great Land Trust is raising $100,000 by January 2025 to complete to purchase 200 acres of undeveloped land from GCI, and plans are underway with the Municipality of Anchorage to dedicate this land—along with 100 acres of municipal property—for parkland and conservation. The new park will be owned, operated, and maintained by Anchorage Parks & Recreation.

The Anchorage Audubon Society has pledged to match every donation, dollar for dollar, up to $20,000 in honor of Jean Tam and Scott Christy, beloved advocates for bird conservation. Your contribution will help us raise at least $40,000 to benefit the birds, wildlife, and people of Anchorage.

Let’s seize this opportunity to conserve Anchorage’s natural beauty and create a lasting legacy for generations to come. Donate today to have your gift matched and help make the Potter Marsh Watershed Park a reality.
