Homesteading in Alaska

Matt and Julie Emslie of Viroqua will share their experience of living remotely in the Alaskan bush on Thursday, March 5 at 6:00pm in the program room.  The Emslie homestead is located on a private allotment in the Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve, roughly 33 river miles from the tiny bush community of Eagle, Alaska.  During the presentation you will hear about how the Emslie family lives off the land, travels by dog team, survives in an unforgiving climate, and other aspects of their unique lifestyle.
