In Katmai, water shapes everything. Fed by snow, glaciers, and volcanic springs, Katmai’s rivers support salmon, bears, and the ecosystems they both rely on. From the mountains to the falls, what flows through this land is the reason life thrives here.

Autumn is here and even when you can’t see the bears, they leave their mark. Tracks in the mud, clawed trees, and overturned stones tell the quiet story of bears moving through the landscape, reminders that Katmai’s wild residents are never far.

Hi BlueSky! We’re Katmai Conservancy, the official nonprofit partner of Katmai National Park & Preserve. Follow along for updates on the bears, conservation work happening in the park, and ways you can get involved. Plus, get a steady stream of bear photos from this remarkable corner of Alaska.

Hiring freezes & layoffs in NPS raise concerns, but Katmai National Park & Preserve remains committed to normal operations. Necessary staff are still being hired. Conservation groups like ours play a vital role—stay engaged to help protect these cherished lands! youtu.be/E-Y8X1hUuhU?...
