Description: The State of Alaska and the Forest Service entered into a Challenge Cost-share agreement in June 2015, to complete a timber stand inventory in young-growth forest. This work supports collecting, analyzing, and using forest resource information to implement sound, sustainable forest management practices across Southeast Alaska, while offering training and developing job opportunites for rural residents in natural resource fields. This layer depicts the polygons that are planned to be field-sampled for the timber cruise.
