Heading out into the field for a late-summer trek? Make sure to check our land use guidelines first! While low-impact activities like day-use hiking or berry picking don't require a permit, you will need a TLO General Permit for activities involving motorized use (curb weight limits apply), overnight camping, or gathering personal firewood.

Our online permit system makes it simple to register and secure your authorization in minutes. Best of all, permit fees go directly toward supporting Trust beneficiaries statewide.

Many people wonder how the revenue generated from Trust lands directly impacts Alaskans. The Trust Land Office manages approximately one million acres of land and resources with a dedicated mission to support Trust's beneficiaries. Every timber sale, land lease, and commercial authorization creates revenue that the Trust uses to improve the lives of Alaskans experiencing mental illness, substance use disorders, intellectual and developmental disabilities, and other related conditions. By responsibly developing these assets, we help ensure there is a stable foundation of financial support for vital community services for beneficiaries across the state.

Grants like this one are directly supported through revenue generation on Trust lands. The Trust Land Office responsibly manages Alaska's natural assets to create a stable funding source for the Trust’s annual grantmaking program, helping partners build vital infrastructure when Trust beneficiaries need it most.

Grantee: Iliuliuk Family & Health Services, Unalaska

Project:
Behavioral Health Safe Room

Trust funds will support the construction of a behavioral health and trauma “Safe Room” suite within the Emergency Department at Iliuliuk Family Health Services (IFHS) in Unalaska. IFHS is the sole provider of urgent, emergent, and primary medical care for Unalaska and the surrounding Aleutian Island communities, including a large transient population connected to the commercial fishing industry. Because of Unalaska’s geographic isolation, frequent severe weather, and distance from off-island behavioral health facilities, IFHS serves as the primary point of contact for individuals experiencing behavioral health crises who require both medical stabilization and behavioral health assessment. The improvements funded through this grant are essential for a trauma-informed, secure environment that support Trust beneficiaries awaiting transfer, tele-behavioral health, or safe discharge.

With the 4th of July weekend just around the corner, we know many of you are planning to get outside and enjoy the summer weather. Whether you are heading out to Trust lands or spending time elsewhere in Alaska, please remember to practice good fire safety. Taking a few simple precautions with campfires and grills helps protect our state's beautiful forests and keeps our communities safe.

Revenue from Trust lands supports the Trust's grantmaking program and services for Trust beneficiaries. Protecting these lands matters.
