The objective

What we are testing.

Tongass National ForestOld growth

The agency has published no document here with a sentence a photograph could settle, only a notice. The line below is read from that notice.

On the Tongass, walk past the end of an existing road into unlogged forest and shoot the biggest standing trees with a pack or person for scale, the tall dead snags, and the canopy looking straight up.

Status

Record open.

The window shut October 6. Evidence still counts: it backs the objections from people who did comment, goes to the lawyers, and outlives the decision.

What you can do

More Than Just Parks doesn’t direct where you go or what you do. Terms.
