State Forester’s Comments

Whenhenen you hearearr thethhhe wordswowordsdss“St “State“ te Forest”F whatat imageimmagemag oror mememmmemoryememoory comess to mind?nd?? IfI you’re likeik mme,me youuw willll probablypproprob mentallymenntalllyy imageiimmagagegee an ane experiencexppepererien with someoneom inn youryoyyou family or closelos friends who spentspesppennt some ququalityu li time with you engagedgeded iin an outdoor activity. Each of us has thathahat favorite activity, and in ourur state forests the range of uses that occur are varied, and reflective of a wided range of interests that the residents of our state possess. The uses range from motorized to non-motorized, and consumptive to non-consumptive with a key point that state forests allow and encourage a wide range of multiple uses, more so than any other land management designation currently in use in our state.

At the same time the primary purpose of the state forest system is timber management that allows for these other “beneficial uses of public land and resources.” These lands are important economic assets to our communities’ “green infrastructure,” providing opportunities for business innovation and development. Access to raw materials is a key aspect of creating a positive climate for economic activity and our state forests can act as an anchor. This concept is not unique to forestry, but is a widely recognized aspect of real estate, retail and manufacturing businesses. Anchor tenants in malls or manufacturing sectors create opportunities for other business ventures. These businesses can be in direct or indirect support of the anchor tenant business or in a completely unrelated sector. Over the last year the Division has sold timber sales to 33 vendors statewide. These vendors range in size from small one person operations to medium size sawmills that manufacture a variety of products for both domestic and foreign markets. We proudly serve Alaskans through forest management and wildland fire protection

One of the more unique products is produced by a mill in Dry Creek, near Tok Alaska, with logs from the Tanana Valley State Forest. This business is a fully vertically integrated mill that utilizes every part of the log in its manufacturing operation. Their top of the line product is a finished pre-cut log home designed to a customer’s specifications. The logs are milled, shaped, and then kiln dried before going to a cut-up line where the dried logs are notched, cut to length and numbered before being packaged for shipment to the customer. The unique aspect I mentioned is not so much the product as the customer interest in these homes, with two finished kits being shipped to Lebanon this past year. Imagine that a white spruce log grown in the Tanana Valley is now half-way around the world in the land of the fabled “Cedars of Lebanon.”

A state forest system is a long-term investment in our collective future that will add value to our communities, economy and to our well being as residents and stewards of this land. It will take foresight and hard work to fully realize the benefits from this renewable resource and it is this later aspect that really excites me and the staff I work with on a daily basis. A working forest is a renewable natural resource that should be tended and utilized for the “greatest good”. The foresters and wildland fire managers that comprise our Division are well in tune with this concept and work diligently to ensure the greater public can realize the potential of our state’s forest resources.

So, please get out and enjoy a forest near you this next year and remember my favorite play on a well known movie tag line, “may the forest be with you.”

1 Ownership derived from the 2008 version of Land Status GIS coverage, State of Alaska, DNR/Land records Information Section. State & private lands include: state patented, tentatively approved, or other state-acquired lands, and patented disposed federal lands, municipal, or other private parcels. 2 Acre values are only relative to survey transects and do not represent the total possible area affected. The affected acreage is much more extensive then can be mapped. Table entries do not include many of the most destructive diseases (e.g., wood decays and dwarf mistletoe), which are not readily detectable in aerial surveys. 3 Damage acres from some types of animals and abiotic agents are also shown in this table. Mapped abiotic damage includes windthrow, freezing injury, flooding, snow slides and landslides. 4 Significant contributors include alder sawfly, leaf miners, and leaf rollers for the respective host. Drought stress and unrecognized alder canker also directly caused reduced foliation or premature foliage loss. 5 Alder dieback is the new description used to label the signature mapped during the survey for dying alder. Past reports have referred to it as alder canker, but verification of alder canker requires ground-checks and dieback symptoms are the damage signature observed from the air. 6 Acres represent only areas with actively dying yellow-cedars. Approximately 500,000 total acres of cedar decline have been mapped over the years in southeast Alaska. 7 These acreage values are a cumulative effect from Northernspruce engraver beetle (Ips perturbatus) and spruce bark beetle (Dendroctonus rufipennis) working in tandem on the same stand of trees.
