Trout Unlimited-Alaska used Conservation Alliance funding to participate in the management planning process for the Tongass National Forest, the largest National Forest in the US. In December, the Forest Service released its new management plan for the Tongass. The new plan prohibits old-growth logging on 1.9 million acres of land, protecting 77 watersheds important for fish populations.
