Tongass Roots: At Home in the Alaska's Island Rain Forest

21st Century Tongass

Southeast Alaskans are fortunate to have the Tongass at our doorstep.  This close proximity to such a vast wilderness allows a unique quality of life found nowhere else. 

Whether it’s hunting, fishing and gathering to fill your freezer or commercial fishing, working with high quality Tongass timber or sharing recreational adventure with visitors to earn a living, the Tongass is a foundation of our daily lives.

With this unique lifestyle comes a responsibility to take care of the forest.  By sustaining our natural resources we ensure the Tongass and our exceptional quality of life will remain for future generations.
