Those wide, cleared lanes in the front field might look inviting - but they’re set aside for migrating birds!

Please keep to the established walking and ski trails and let our feathered visitors have the front fields. THANK YOU!

[Friends of Creamer's Field @Friendsocf]

Huge thanks to the Fairbanks Kiwanis Club for spreading grain across the cleared fields this morning!

With migrating birds arriving, the fields are now closed—please stay on designated trails and avoid the plowed lanes when recreating.

Curious about the large mound in the northwestern field?
Check out our new educational sign! Created with partners at ASI and ADF&G, it explains the artificial nesting habitat built for Bank Swallows.
We’re excited to see if they choose it as a nesting site this spring!

[Friends of Creamer's Field @Friendsocf]

At the end of our rainbow are fields, forests, and wetlands! 🍀

We’re feeling incredibly lucky to have this beautiful refuge to explore, love, and learn from.

Look at that snow! ❄️

The Farmhouse Visitor Center is looking extra cozy after nearly 90 inches of snowfall in Fairbanks this winter - about 25 inches above average.
