November, 2002: Nature Conservancy Spotlights Gustavus.
In the Winter, 2002 issue of its quarterly membership
magazine, The Nature Conservancy featured
the Gustavus Forelands as its "hot property." A full page of the
glossy magazine presented a photograph of Glacier Bay and made the case for
purchasing the mental health trust lands before prices go higher or
the current purchase option expires. Members were urged to send donations to
the Conservancy's Anchorage office or to call for more information.
