The National Park Service Alaska Regional Park Office is based in Anchorage. The employees in this office support the management of the 15 national parks, preserves, monuments and national historical parks in Alaska, as well as the 13 national wild rivers, two affiliated areas and a national heritage area in the state. Alaska is also home to 50 National Historic Landmarks and 16 National Natural Landmarks.

As stewards of these vast resources and partners with others involved in conservation efforts, Park Service employees also work closely with communities to extend the benefits of national parks and NPS programs. We’ve been involved in designing sustainable trails, working in schools, providing technical expertise in historic building restoration, and many more activities. Together with the Park Service staff based in or near each park, we work to carry out the National Park Service's mission.
