The Ridgeline

Swallows around Kachemak Bay
While tree swallow populations are declining in Alaska, conservation strategies can help their nesting success. One of these projects is happening at Inspiration Ridge Preserve.

Puffin Beaks
There are so many things about puffins that make them eye-catching and charismatic. But their distinctive, big orange-and-yellow bills are especially interesting!

Fall Berries
The neat natural history and uses of red fall fruits, such as rose hips, bog cranberry, lingonberry, red current, and high bush cranberry.

Winter Birds
Many of the birds the Preserve hosts in the summer are migratory, but there are some species that live here year-round.

Introducing Inspiration Ridge Preserve
Inspiration Ridge Preserve protects habitat for diverse wildlife, and is an example of the relationship locals have with a special species of bird.
