Wilderness Stewardship

SEACC's Wilderness Stewardship program, initiated in 2011, connects people with wild places and Tongass National Forest management.  We're partnering with the Forest Service, various community organizations, and volunteers from all over to restore, monitor, and research Tongass wilderness areas we helped establish.

In 2010, we completed trips into the three highest-need wilderness areas in the Tongass, areas recognized by the Forest Service as not meeting minimum management standards.  In each area, we partnered with local community organizations and completed restoration and monitoring activities, helping to ensure the many values of wilderness areas are preserved for current and future generations.  Wilderness areas are the places we rely on to hunt and fish, to attract tourists from around the world, for solace and spiritual growth, for adventures and opportunities to learn about nature and oneself, and for many other uses.

For more information, see our Facebook photo albums for our trips to Whitewater Bay, Kootznoowoo Wilderness Area; Pleasant Island Wilderness; and the Endicott River Wilderness.

Also, check out our trip reports for Whitewater Bay, Kootznoowoo Wilderness Area; Pleasant Island Wilderness; and the Endicott River Wilderness.
