October 7, 2011 - U.S. Sen. Mark Begich sent a letter to the U.S. Forest Service requesting the agency update the inventoried roadless area maps for the Tongass National Forest.
The maps are more than a decade old and don’t reflect the situation on the ground.
In the letter to Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell, Sen. Begich says significant road construction has occurred in the past ten years and the result is an illogical
situation where areas of the Tongass which are actually roaded are considered roadless.
