ABOUT THIS EPISODE
A caller and the host dive into the debate over the Tongass National Forest and the federal Roadless Rule, arguing over what restrictions mean for timber, mining, hydro projects, tourism and road access. The conversation also looks back at the forest-products industry that once provided thousands of year-round jobs in Southeast Alaska and asks whether the Tongass could once again play a larger role in the region’s economy.
