U.S. Forest Service seeks ideas on 2022 projects

U.S. Forest Service officials are seeking public comment on proposed outdoor recreation and infrastructure projects in the Chugach and Tongass National Forests for 2022 and feedback on ideas for projects in 2023 through 2025.

Forest Service officials said they hope that a variety of stakeholders, including Tribes and Alaska Native corporations, will help them to identify need work on outdoor projects, ranging from cabins, campgrounds, trailheads and trails to visitor centers, boat ramps, marine facilities and picnic areas.

The proposals vary in size and location and focus on projects that repair existing sites and facilities, possibly removing those that no longer meet pubic needs and allow for additional infrastructure.

An online, interactive map features will be available for public comment starting on Oct. 22 and will continue through Nov. 3. More information and online links will be provided soon on how to share feedback.
