Comments on the Roadless Rule, which provides safeguards for 99% of the Chugach National Forest, are due Friday! https://www.tu.org/conservation/action-center/?vvsrc=%2fcampaigns%2f129771%2frespond

Join us in standing up for some of the most productive fish and wildlife habitat on Alaska's national forests. Alaska’s roadless areas make up 1/3 of the roadless areas in the country!

🗣️ We have 11 more days to speak up. Tell the USDA to keep the Roadless Rule and safeguard our valuable public lands.

The USDA is moving to rescind the Roadless Rule on 14.6 million acres of the Tongass and Chugach National Forests. Roadless areas provide some of Alaska’s best hunting and fishing opportunities and support sustainable economic development through our powerhouse fishing and outdoor recreation sectors. These safeguards benefit salmon, trout, deer, bears, and other wildlife that rely on high quality and unfragmented habitat.

The Roadless Rule balances conservation with other forest uses by preventing new road construction and commercial logging operations on roadless areas. All other activities--including fishing, hunting, OHV use, mining, energy development, and projects that remove timber to improve forest health conditions--are permitted by the Roadless Rule.

This fall Trout Unlimited’s and Southcentral Alaska Chapter teamed up to fund the Anchor River weir steelhead count! Their support allowed the weir to stay in the river through the month of October, giving scientists the first count of steelhead since 1992 and first complete count ever on the Anchor River!

Thanks to .sportfish.homer for the exciting opportunity to collaborate. This is a great first step in a growing effort to understand more about this fish population so many of us love.

Check out ADFG’s great video for more information about the project and stay tuned this winter, as we plan to share more about their findings! https://youtu.be/f_5qjVOmH7s?feature=shared

✨🐟 Steelhead season on the Anchor River is almost a wrap! And we’re SO excited to say that for the first time ever, ADF&G has a complete count of the fall steelhead run. The Kenai Peninsula and Southcentral Trout Unlimited Chapters pooled their resources and donated enough money to pay two technicians to work through the month of October. Running a weir through October isn’t easy, but the techs made it through flooding, leaf buildup, and now the ice that’s forming, to finish counting all 1,389 steelhead this season. We’re so thankful to the steelhead anglers that helped make the connection and this partnership happen.
