The Alaska Wilderness League’s Geography of Hope series continues with a trip through the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge inn partnership with veteran Chad Brown! The League recently traveled (virtually) with Navy veteran and professional photographer (and League board member) Chad Brown through the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and learned about his expeditions visits with local Indigenous communities, the humbling impact of moving silently through a vast open space, and how immersing himself in wilderness has helped him to treat his post-traumatic stress disorder related to military tours in Iraq and Somalia. Chad continues to pursue expeditions into the Arctic Circle guiding youth of color and veterans into this majestic land of awe today supporting the need to protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and the indigenous nations.
