About This Project
- This project reduces carbon dioxide by increasing the storage of CO2 in the forest through reduced logging activity and increased natural forest growth.
- Indigenous Alaskans operate as the majority landowner through the Klawock Heenya Corporation (KHC). Established by the US government in 1971, the organization oversees settled lands and financial claims for Indigenous Alaskan Americans.
- Owners own company stock, with a goal to develop a sustainable economy that provides opportunities for community members and shareholders alike. KHC takes their role seriously, evident by their statement: “our land, our legacy, our life.”
- Improved forest management plays a vital role in protecting freshwater systems, and the forest in the area acts as natural water filters.
- The project preserves and conserves the unique biological resources in the area for future generations.
