Yakutat Ranger District seeks public input on cabins for long-term, management strategy
Yakutat,
Alaska, May 18, 2018 – The Yakutat Ranger District is hosting a public meeting at Kwaan Conference Room on May 23, 2018, in order to include community input into the development
of a Long-Term, Sustainable Cabin Management Strategy. The Tongass National Forest is developing the Long-Term, Sustainable Cabin Management Strategy in order to be
responsive to developing trends and challenges, while ensuring the Forest continues to provide for a high-quality cabin experience through an array of opportunities. This effort was inspired by increasing maintenance costs, decreasing budgets and significant
changes in usage trends. Public input is vital to this process, in order to ensure future projects and management align with the experience cabin users are looking for.
The meeting will be held from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Kwaan Conference Room, next to the Forest Service
office (421 Ocean Cape Rd.). Those unable to attend may join the Tongass National
Forest Cabin Users Group on Facebook to submit comments or send an email
to paulrobbins@xxxxxxxxx.
For more information, contact Teresa Swanson or Lee Benson at the Yakutat Ranger District, 907-784-3359 or
taswanson@xxxxxxxxx or
labenson@xxxxxxxxx.
For interviews and information to be used for publication, contact the Tongass Public Affairs Officer at 907-228-6201. -end-
