2012-2017: Sitka Fellows Program was seven-week residency for frame-busting visionaries from any discipline — from entrepreneurship to poetry, physics to linguistics — around the world. There are 39 alums of the program, who have proceeded to do many cool things, from found and direct the Uncommon Music Festival in Sitka, to write a Pulitzer-nominated play. SFP came to an end after six years because it was not financially sustainable.

2014-2017: Trans-Alaska Trail is a project to open public access along the Trans-Alaska Pipeline right-of-way and create an 800-mile, Arctic-to-Pacific, hike-bike-or-ski multiuse recreation destination trail. The project is paused until there's better federal-state political alignment and/or the inevitability of DR&R becomes more real. Relevant docs: master chronology; prospectus; board of advisors; permitting roadmap (State of Alaska); 64-mile Valdez-to-Tonsina pilot-segment management plan; 800-mile route analysis.

2015-2016: Co-visioned with Sally Helm and Emily Kwong, Alaska Radio Workshop would be an eight-week practicum that trains students in long-form radio production, similar to Salt in Portland, Maine. While the program has been scoped out to a detailed degree, I'm not sure it will ever happen unless someone comes along with the bandwidth and passion to make it real.
