Easements

There are several types of easements within the Alaska refuges. Conservation and non-development easements are held by the United States on native corporation land, primarily within Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge. The purpose of these easements is to maintain the natural character of the land and to protect habitat.   ANCSA Section 17(b) easements are reserved within native corporation land on all refuges, and provide a legal means of access to public land and water across native-owned land.
