Get involved.
Dream it.
Join us in dreaming for a more equitable and sustainable community.
We hold a monthly Zoom call at 6 PM on the second Wednesday of the month. Time is set aside where all voices are welcome regarding economic development, housing, recreation, and conservation.
Sign up for our newsletter below, to get the highlights from the monthly meeting and upcoming events to your email.
Build it.
It all begins with an idea and taking that idea to build a better future for Girdwood and our resources.
As a Land Trust for Girdwood, involvement from all sectors of the community are welcomed.
From those that are current homeowners that want to see the community built for the next generation, to those looking to build their future here. From business owners looking to revitalize and grow, to those seeking to become business owners within the community, speaking up about what you need or want to see is critical at this time.
Grow it.
Girdwood Community Land Trust has formalized an official entity with an EIN, created a board of directors and has been approved as a sponsored organization under Girdwood, Inc.
Presentations have occurred at Girdwood Land Use, Girdwood Board of Supervisors, Girdwood Alliance and Housing Committee.
We have a 9 member board which is consistent with a traditional CLT board structure composed of: 1/3 Future Tenants on the Land, 1/3 Community Members, 1/3 Nonprofit leaders/subject area experts/elected officials. We will need all the help we can get and want members to participate at every step of the way.
Become a member, it’s free!

Statement of Support
To Whom It May Concern:
As a resident of Girdwood, we acknowledge that housing is a challenge for many service workers within our valley. The Girdwood Community Land Trust Board of Directors agree that workforce employees are a vital part of our local economy and it is essential to establish long-term opportunities to be part of Girdwood’s community permanently.
Land is scarce in Girdwood and the trend in cost has increased year over year. In addition to housing, food security is of high importance in transitioning to a more sustainable and healthier environment. It is the intent of the board to set apart land for food growing opportunities.
I am signing this letter in support of Girdwood Community Land Trust and their efforts to secure land for their mission: “To manage land for community and economic development needs, with the intent of preserving affordability, in trust for the benefit of Girdwood.”
Since Heritage Land Bank is the owner/manager of close to 5000 acres in Girdwood, I am in support of roughly 1% of this land being transferred to Girdwood Community Land Trust, a Girdwood based non-profit who invites all members of the Girdwood community to participate in their meetings.
Thank you,
Girdwood Resident
