Visitors will soon be able to request the last four daily permits for the Anan Wildlife Observatory this summer. Requests will be made by filling out a form at the front desk of the Wrangell Ranger District office. Individuals listed on the form must be physically present at the time of request, with the exception of family members. Weekly requests will be collected by Mondays at 4:30 p.m. and awarded on Tuesdays by noon.
If several requests are for the same day, a lottery for awarding reservation space will be held on Tuesdays at 9 a.m. If there is any space left, requests will be accommodated on a first come, first serve basis through the front desk during regular business hours.
Permits are required from July 5 - August 25 to visit the observatory. Visitation outside of this time period does not require a permit. Information on the observatory, including site restrictions and a list of authorized guiding services can be found at the Tongass National Forest website at http://www.fs.usda.gov/goto/R10/Tongass/AnanObsrv. For more information, contact the Wrangell Ranger District at 874-2323.
