Donated
in May of 2001, this 1,430-acre conservation easement supports an
assortment of mammals, fish, and bird species. Intensively logged
in the 70’s and 80’s Southeast Alaska Land Trust accepted
an conservation easement to provide for the natural and sustained
rehabilitation of coastal forest habitat into perpetuity. By prohibiting
future resource extraction the easement protects not only the natural
potential of the area, but also a culture dependent on fishing and
the local water supply. By providing a pure and clear source of water
65 million salmon fry will achieve proper incubation within the down
stream hatchery and 850 local residents will drink peacefully.
