The National Park Service represents a local and statewide resource in teaching concepts of science, geography, mathematics, language arts, art, life skills, employment, and more. Through the mission of Fairbanks Alaska Public Lands Information Center, the center acts as a base for NPS outreach education in Interior Alaska.

Environmental Education
We strive to be an active voice and presence in our community and find creative ways to inspire community members, especially children, to become open-minded and caring towards the environment.

School Groups
Classes from the district, home schools, and independent groups frequently visit the Center for both formal and informal field trips. Come watch a movie and explore our Center on your own or schedule a formal educational field trip, either at the Morris Thompson Center or in your school.

Education Kits
Over 25 theme-based educational kits available to educators for check-out. See our Teacher Resources Handout for more information on educational opportunities at the Fairbanks APLIC.

Resource Library
The Center houses a small library of reference materials, maps, activities, and videos available for educators to check out.
