| dc.description.abstract | In 2016, the Tongass National Forest (NF) amended its Land and Resource Management Plan to transition timber harvest on the forest from old growth to predominantly young growth over the next 10 to 15 years. Following this decision, the US Department of Agriculture established the Tongass Advisory Committee (TAC) to advise Forest Service leadership on the Tongass NF’s transition. One TAC recommendation was the development of a plan to track social and economic conditions in Southeast Alaska before, during, and after the transition to young growth. The purpose of this report is to provide the recommended social and economic reporting for the Tongass NF and Southeast Alaska communities, and provide a monitoring plan to be replicated in future years. | en_US |
