Buy Local: Alaskan Wood, Alaskan Jobs
SEACC is committed to supporting small-scale mill operations and the environmental and community sustainability that they promote. By harvesting sustainable yields and creating high quality, value-added products, small mills maintain a functional and interconnected old-growth ecosystem while enhancing the economic vitality of Southeast Alaska and creating jobs for its residents.Through a recent print and online advertising campaign (see below) and this website, SEACC is helping drive demand for local wood products and support these sustainable businesses.
We ask that you consider these individuals as suppliers for your construction needs, and help support a strong Southeast economy, local jobs, and sustainable forest management on the Tongass National Forest.
