Ken Ostrom, Prince of Wales District Deputy Ranger, stands beside a young growth tree within a previously harvested stand on Prince of Wales Island, in the Tongass National Forest in Alaska, Sept. 25, 2025. This stand received precommercial thinning treatments, which decreased competition among remaining trees leading to better growth rates and increased understory development to support wildlife.
