Parks and Partnerships

The Murie Science and Learning Center was created to provide research, discovery, and learning opportunities within arctic and subarctic Alaska National Parks. Explore ways we've collaborated with these parks to make exciting programs and projects possible.

 
 

Inventory and Monitoring Networks

The Murie Science and Learning Center covers two of the "I&M" networks in Alaska - the Central Alaska Network (CAKN) and Arctic Network (ARCN). Each of these networks facilitates research in their constituent parks (Denali, Wrangell and Yukon-Charley in the CAKN; and Bering Land Bridge, Cape Krusenstern, Noatak, Kobuk Valley and Gates of the Arctic in the ARCN).

 

Partnership Organizations

Many organizations come together to fulfill the mission of the Murie Science and Learning Center through cooperation, partnerships, and sharing of resources. Our partner organizations include non-profits, educational institutions and business partners.

Did you know that Denali National Park and Preserve is home to both black bears and grizzly (brown) bears?  Black bears inhabit the forested areas of the park, while grizzly bears mainly live on the open tundra.  Almost all bears seen by visitors along the Park Road are grizzlies.
