Chugach Conservation
Alaska Center for the Environment's Forest Conservation Program, safeguarding Alaska's Chugach National Forestfor future generations, advocates for well-balanced conservation management and sustainable use of our public resources.
Focus
The program’s primary focus is to permanently protect special places in South Central Alaska’s backyard- the Chugach.
Wild Forests
As the country's two largest National Forests, the Chugach and Tongass combined, contain the largest remaining acreage of un-roaded Old-Growth Temperate Rainforest on the planet. In addition to providing critical wildlife habitat, these forests are crucial to Alaska's subsistence needs and our fishing and tourism industries-as well as providing some of the countries most beloved recreational places.
