Alaska Wilderness League Award Ceremony 2023

In early November, the League hosted a spectacular event at the Burke Museum Museum of Natural History and Culture in Seattle to honor President Jimmy Carter, announce this year’s recipient of our Adam Kolton Storytelling Grant Award - Bjorn Olson - and celebrate our dedicated board who continues to support the League all year long in our tireless fight to protect America’s Arctic.
We’d like to offer you a taste of the impact of this event, featuring special video coverage, Josh Carter’s poignant speech (Jimmy Carter’s grandson who accepted the award on his behalf), an update from the grant awardee, and so much more.
