Friends of Misty Fiords Wilderness Charity Profile

Misty Fiords National Monument was established by President Jimmy Carter in 1978 to perpetuate the outstanding wilderness, scenic and wildlife resources of this remote and wild portion of Alaska. Misty Fiords is comprised of mountainous country incised by deep saltwater fiords. The only inhabitants of the area are mountain goats, brown and black bears, wolves, deer, marten, seals, orcas, porpoises, salmon, halibut, trout, eagles, gulls, and a host of other fish and wildlife. It is a coastal rainforest treasure house.
