Sitka Ranger District seeks input on public recreation cabins for long-term management strategy SITKA, Alaska, May 23, 2018 – Sitka Ranger District is hosting a public meeting at the Sitka
Forest Service office on Thursday, May 31, 2018, in order to include community input into the development of a long-term public cabin 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 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at 2108 Halibut Point Rd.
Those unable to attend may join the
