North Star Smoke Busters is a non-profit association of interior neighbors formed to enable homeowners to reduce smoke emissions while operating their solid fuel heating appliances.  Our goal is to reduce fine particulate emissions from cord wood and pellet stoves by 85% in order to reach the 35 µg/m3 National Air Quality Standard by 12/31/2025.  We accomplish this by encouraging proper wood seasoning, explaining the benefits of modern solid fuel heating appliances, and offering electrostatic particulate filters to homeowners to install on their stove chimneys.

We are the water keepers — the Friends of Fox Spring. We are actively working together to protect a precious community water resource: our Fox Spring.
    
The state has operated Fox Spring for more than 50 years and thousands of local citizens depend on this supply of good water. Interior Alaskans understand the state budget constraints and the need for financial contributions, and Friends of Fox Spring gladly accept that responsibility.
