Sitka Conservation Society's Watershed Programs Manager, Scott Harris, teaches about restoration in the Tongass National Forest.

Alaska’s Chugach and Tongass national forests are sometimes referred to as salmon forests, producing all five species of wild Pacific salmon: king, coho, sockeye, pink, and chum.

About 45 percent, or 122 million, of these commercially harvested salmon relied on habitat managed by the U.S. Forest Service.
