Random Facts About Alaska’s Forest Products IndustryA detailed county by county analysis: 1980-2010
• Primarily Boreal Forest• No endangered or threatened species in Alaska’s forests• Provides hundreds of jobs and contributes millions to the economy• Wood is renewable, biodegradable and recyclable• Americans consume 630 lbs of paper and lumber per year• Alaska has 129 million forested acres• The Tongas National Forest is the largest forest in the United States• The forest spans 16.8 million acres - that’s a LOT of trees
When President Theodore Roosevelt created the Tongass National Forest in 1907 he did so with the utmost wisdom. Roosevelt was way ahead of his time, recognizing as early as 1903 the importance of multiple use.
