## Resource

Southeast Alaskans weigh in on Tongass National Forests new management plan, advocating for a balanced approach to timber, mining, recreation, and wildlife conservation. The plan, set to replace the 1997 version, faces criticism and support from locals, with miners pushing for responsible digging and conservationists advocating for old-growth tree protection. The Forest Service, after community workshops, is refining goals and will release a draft environmental impact statement in August, with the final plan due by 2028. Stay engaged, as this plan will shape the region for decades. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
