Alaska’s Working Forests
• Alaska’s federal and state forests have the potential to be a model of sustainability, including environmental, social, and economic objectives.
• The “Working Forest” concept embraces diverse and broad objectives related to utilizing natural resources, providing jobs, stimulating local economies, and supporting communities.
• These broad objectives have the potential to unify diverse stakeholders and interest groups while framing many of the State of Alaska’s short- and long-term goals.
A WORKING FOREST… Is managed for multiple industry use… Encourages the rational development of the
forest… Demands that User Groups be responsible for the sustainability of all forest resources… Uses its resources to unite and provide support for the environment, the social structure of communities, and the regions economy.
