The Mendenhall Wetlands are the Heart of Juneau: the view we see everyday, the place we take our kids and grandkids to run wild, and an area that all members of our community can hunt, fish, and get outside in the sunshine.

Globally important for birds, the Mendenhall Wetlands are also a globally significant habitat for hundreds of species of fish and wildlife that reflect Juneau’s vibrant natural resources.

At Heart of Juneau, you can learn about the importance of the wetlands and learn about projects under consideration that would irrevocably damage – if not destroy – this beloved open space, harm wildlife, and alter the wilderness character of Juneau.
