Public Meetings for Proposed Additions to the Tanana Valley State Forest

The Alaska Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is proposing the expansion of the Tanana Valley State Forest.

By designating these lands as State Forest, management will be transferred to the Division of Forestry & Fire Protection (DOF), with a primary focus on timber management. This will ensure the production, use, and replenishment of timber resources while still supporting other beneficial uses of public lands. This change provides reassurance to investors, including DOF, that their investments in forest activities, such as reforestation, will be worthwhile in the long run. Investments in roads built for harvesting timber can be maintained for future use. Additionally, these forest roads will improve public access for recreational activities such as hunting, fishing, berry picking, and tourism.

The public is invited to learn more at the following community meetings when the Division of Forestry & Fire Protection will provide a high-level overview of the proposal, answer questions, and explain how the public may participate in the process.
