The Alaska Region's National Forests encompass more than 22 million acres. Forest Service employees protect the beauty and bounty of these lands while providing a place for people to work and play. Many who live near the Tongass and Chugach depend on available timber, minerals, salmon, blueberries, deer and other forest products for their livelihoods or traditional cultural uses.
Alaskans enjoy spectacular scenery that includes watersheds, rivers, salmon streams, glaciers, and Sitka spruce forests. Adventurous travelers and residents alike enjoy fishing, kayaking, hiking and camping. Wildlife enthusiasts see bears, bald eagles, mountain goats, humpback whales, and other marine mammals. Alaska Region employees monitor and manage the impact of recreation and tourism on forestlands. They also work closely with other USDA agencies and partners on a strategy to diversify and improve the sustainable economic growth of local communities.
