Land Manager Contacts

One of the basic tenets of geocaching is not to place a cache without approval of the appropriate land manager.  Below is contact information for several managers of Alaska's public lands. 

Anchorage

Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Campbell Tract/Far North Bicentennial Park
Jeff Blume, BLM
Caches are allowed throughout Campbell Tract/Far North Bicentennial Park EXCEPT within 150 feet of a waterway.  The exclusion zone (for geocaches and all other user groups) was created in order to protect the sensitive streamside vegetation, stream banks, and bear feeding areas.

Download this map (pdf, 317KB) for the exclusion zones.  Caches currently within the exclusion zone as of April 23, 2008, must be archived and removed or moved outside the exclusion zone by May 10, 2008.  Geocaching.com guidelines allow cachers to move their caches up to 0.1 mile (528 feet) without involvement of a geocaching.com administrator, as long as the new location remains at least 0.1 mile from the nearest adjacent cache.
