What We HaveWelcome to the Tongass National Forest, a forest of islands and trees and rain. LOTS of islands and trees and rain. It also abounds in animals and birds and fish, with unsurpassed scenery and hardy people. It's a place where eagles are commonplace, most roads are deer crossings, and bears use the trails, too. The Tongass is a wild place, where the natural world is a strong presence that nurtures spiritually and materially and demands respect. Look around at what the Tongass has to offer. |
What We DoThe Tongass National Forest is the largest unit in the national forest system, almost 17 million acres. Tongass employees work to balance multiple uses of the forest resources. The Tongass has healthy fish and wildlife populations, clean water, trees to support local industry, recreation opportunities unique to Alaska, and plenty of unspoiled beauty and solitude. What roads exist in Southeast Alaska have been developed from forest roads built to reach timber. Here are a few of the projects the Forest Service is involved with.
