Protected Places
Places protected by 1990 Tongass Timber Reform Act:
Legislated Land Use Designation II (LUD II): Congress designated
these places in the Tongass Timber Reform Act. The Forest Service must
permanently manage them in a roadless state to maintain their wildland
character “because of their critical importance for fish and wildlife
habitat and their high value to tourism and recreation.”
This designation prohibits commercial logging and most (but not all)
roads. It allows timber salvage, personal use of wood (for cabin logs,
firewood, etc.), motorized vehicle use on freshwater, mining
development, aquaculture and fish hatcheries, and some water and power
development.
