- Description:
- Scoping comments from the Alaska Chapter to Tongass National Forest Supervisor Monique Nelson on the revision of the Tongass Land and Resource Management Plan. Overarching comments note that climate change is absent from the preliminary focus goals, call for review of the old-growth conservation strategy, and treat ecological sustainability as a substantive issue; the letter also responds to the Forest Service goals on prosperity, recreation, shared stewardship, subsistence uses, and indigenous knowledge, and recommends a thorough science review of key wildlife species and their habitats.
