A resource specialist on the Tongass National Forest marks a tree for removal while completing the layout for the 12-Mile Wildlife Habitat Improvement and Commercial Thinning Project on Prince of Wales Island, Alaska, April 30, 2026. Wildlife, aquatic and timber resource staff marked boundaries and individual trees for removal on Prince of Wales Island, in preparation for contract development. This partnership between the USDA Forest Service and the Mule Deer Foundation seeks to improve habitats while providing timber opportunity through the removal of young growth trees. Active management like this keeps forests open, healthy and productive. Thinning overcrowded stands strengthens forest resilience, improves habitat for wildlife, provides economic opportunity, and helps fuel rural prosperity. National forests are working forests that provide the everyday resources our communities depend on.
