Projects
Management of the Tongass National Forest follows the guidance of the Tongass Land Management Plan, first completed in 1979 and most recently modified in 2016. The plan incorporates an adaptive management strategy and that has been reviewed and amended a number of times over the years. Forest Plan updates reflect changing conditions, information and requirements, to provide for long-term resource sustainability as well as the economic and social needs of the public.
Projects are planned, with help from stakeholders, to foster the continued health of the forest and to provide commodities and experiences to people who visit the largest national forest - from those who depend on and are surrounded by the Tongass to those who live throughout the nation.
