  • Sea Kayaking on the Petersburg
    SeaSea KayakingKayaking onon thethe PetersburgPetersburg RangerRanger DistrictDistrict Routes Included in Handout Petersburg to Kake via north shore of Kupreanof Island Petersburg to Kake via south shore of Kupreanof Island LeConte Bay Loop Thomas Bay Loop Northwest Kuiu Island Loop Duncan Canal Loop Leave No Trace (LNT) information Tongass National Forest Petersburg Ranger District P.O. Box 1328 Petersburg AK. 99833 Sea Kayaking in the Petersburg Area The Petersburg area offers outstanding paddling opportunities. From an iceberg filled fjord in LeConte Bay to the Keku Islands this remote area has hundreds of miles of shoreline to explore. But Alaska is not a forgiving place, being remote, having cold water, large tides and rug- ged terrain means help is not just around the corner. One needs to be experienced in both paddling and wilderness camping. There are not established campsites and we are trying to keep them from forming. To help ensure these wild areas retain their naturalness it’s best to camp on the durable surfaces of the beach and not damage the fragile uplands vegetation. This booklet will begin to help you plan an enjoyable and safe pad- dling tour. The first part contains information on what paddlers should expect in this area and some safety guidelines. The second part will help in planning a tour. The principles of Leave No Trace Camping are presented. These are suggestions on how a person can enjoy an area without damaging it and leave it pristine for years to come. Listed are over 30 Leave No Trace campsites and several possible paddling routes in this area.

The majority of communities ​ are dependent on air and water to transport people, vehicles, and goods, including food and basic supplies. The current Southeast Alaska food system is highly vulnerable because it is dependent on a lengthy supply chain that imports foods from producers and distribution centers in the lower 48 states. Threats to this food supply chain include natural disasters (wildfires, earthquakes, tsunami, drought, flooding), food safety recalls, transport interruptions due to weather or mechanical failures, political upheaval, and/or terrorism. More recently, the Covid-19 pandemic led to shelter-in-place precautionary measures at the national, state, and community levels in March 2020. Continued uncertainty around the long-term health and safety of food workers in the lower 48 may lead to even more supply shortages and interruptions in the future.

  • NORTHERN TRANSMISSION LINE of the SOUTHEAST INTERTIE and DOCK ELECTRIFICATION for NORTHERN LYNN CANAL COMMUNITIES-SKAGWAY, HAINES, JUNEAU
    NORTHERN TRANSMISSION LINE OF THE SOUTHEAST INTERTIE and DOCK ELECTRIFICATION FOR NORTHERN LYNN CANAL COMMUNITIES-SKAGWAY, HAINES, JUNEAU Description. The Northern Transmission Line (NTL). A high voltage 138 kV and 69 kV transmission line that interconnects Skagway, Haines, and Juneau for Energy Security, Energy Reliability, and Resilience to support sustainable economies of Northern Southeast Alaska. Purpose and Need. The Purpose of the NTL is to create an integrated transmission grid for northern Lynn Canal communities to transfer locally developed electricity between the communities to optimize renewable energy resources, drive down energy costs, open economic opportunities and to create value to the interconnected communities and their industries. Time is Now. Background. Envisioned in 1997, and passed into Public Law in 2000 to create a Southeast Intertie from Ketchikan to Skagway. PL 105-511 authorized $384M for a 25-year plan for interconnecting existing and planned power generation sites with a high voltage electrical intertie serving the communities of the region. The time is now to build the next phase of the SE Intertie to serve northern Lynn Canal communities. The NTL is a fully permitted and construction-ready high voltage transmission line infrastructure to span Skagway, Haines, and Juneau with substations and overhead and submarine transmission segments to serve these communities for the next century. Benefits. • Creates family-wage jobs now to supplement the Alaska economy circulating federal and private infrastructure dollars by building keystone energy infrastructure. • Upgrades and replaces impaired Skagway to Haines undersea transmission cable. • Future proof the Northern Lynn Canal economies and opens up more trade opportunities between communities and with Yukon.

From Sitka black-tailed deer, mountain goats, river otters, and black bears in Southeast Alaska, to caribou, moose, wolves, sheep, and brown bears in Northwest Alaska, the encoun­ ters have been phenomenal and memorable.

  • Wrangell Island Analysis Report 1 Stikine Area United States Forest Service Wrangell Ranger District
    Wrangell Island Analysis Report Report Overview The purpose of this report is to solicit public review and comment and provide a context for future project decisions on National Forest lands on Wrangell Island over the next ten years. It presents an overview of public comments, resource conditions, and possible projects (roads and access management, timber harvest, recreation). This report describes Wrangell Island old growth reserves and other management prescriptions designated by the Forest Plan (TLMP). It describes wildlife travel corridors and recreation use across the island. It includes the results of a watershed analysis that identified sensitive watersheds and important fisheries on the island. Within this framework of Forest Plan prescriptions, resource conditions, and human use, an interdisciplinary team has suggested projects including: · Recreation trails and shelters. · Timber harvest proposals of one to five million board feet that avoid the most sensitive watersheds and allow consideration of scenery and wildlife values. · Road access management that considers wildlife and fisheries while maintaining access to potential timber sales and popular recreation sites. This report is organized as follows: · An introduction explaining why we wrote this report and how we intend to use it. · A summary of public comment and highlights of a Wrangell Island Analysis conducted by the 1997 Wrangell High School Environmental Sciences Class. · A summary of landscape design objectives from the Forest Plan. · Descriptions of the seven landscape
