Alaska Natural Resource Month's theme this year is "Dream BIG" and asks Alaskans to learn about the state's natural resources, be creative, be innovative, and dream big about Alaska's future. The document provides information about Alaska's major natural resources which include oil and gas, mining, forestry, fisheries, and tourism. It also describes the partnership between Alaska Natural Resource Month and Junior Achievement Alaska to bring educational resources and activities to students statewide during the month of March, including Discovery Day on March 13th, the anniversary of the Prudhoe Bay oil discovery.
