2016 Alaska Natural Resource Month

Alaska Natural Resource Month and Discovery Day are educational outreach efforts bringing Alaskans, educators, and the private sector together with activities to celebrate Alaska’s natural resources, our energy potential, and our state's economy.   The 4rd Annual Alaska Natural Resource Month will be held during March 2016 statewide, and Discovery Day will be held  on March 13, 2016.  March 13th is the day that ARCO, and Humble Oil announced their Prudhoe Bay discovery in 1968.   

Junior Achievement Partnership

This year we have partnered with the non-profit  Junior Achievement Alaska (Tax ID 92-0045091) to bring exciting activities to all Alaskans.  Junior Achievement and Alaska Natural Resource Month share a vision of educating  and empowering our youth who are Alaska's most precious and valuable natural resource.  We have received broad support, and we hope you will join us in celebrating Alaska Natural Resource Month in your community.
