Draft Assessment
Below you will find the Draft versions of 21 separate Draft Assessment sections, for the Tongass Forest Plan Revision.
We are asking for any feedback you have on these Draft Assessments, such as factual corrections, other sources of data, and sub-topics that you would like added, or any questions that remain. Please submit your comments at: Tongass Plan Revision Comment Site by February 24, 2025.
We will consider all feedback received and update the individual sections into final versions, which will be shared when they are completed. At that time, we will also create an integrated Final Assessment report, which will consolidate the findings of all the sections, describing the interactions between all the different resources.
