    This decision will cost the country its most substantial set of lungs, as well as our largest stand of old-growth trees — some of which began life more than 1,000 years ago.





    Encouraged by his friend John Muir, President Theodore Roosevelt designated the Tongass a national forest in 1907. An enchanted world of glaciers, fjords and colossal stands of spruce and hemlock, today the 17 million-acre area is the world’s largest intact temperate rainforest, covering 80 percent of the Alaskan Panhandle — known colloquially as “Southeast.” Referred to by Forest Service rangers as the “crown jewel,” the Tongass provides habitat for some of America’s most iconic creatures: bald eagles, salmon, wolves. Baranof Island, where I live with my wife and two daughters, is home to 1,500 brown bears — about 1 for every 6 people in town.




    But late last February, Air Force One stopped on the way home from Vietnam, and President Trump met with Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy, a Republican. “Mike, any time you have a problem, you call me,” Trump announced.

    Dunleavy did just that, following up with a letter requesting that the Tongass be fully exempted from the Roadless Rule to “save what’s left” of the timber industry. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue was supposed to suggest a partial exemption from the rule in July, but Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R) signaled in a recent radio interview that her expectation was for Trump to push for a full repealof the federal law, allowing roads to be built through the forest. In an Aug. 23 call with Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) and Dunleavy, Trump promised as much, that the governor's logging request was “moving along.”

    Lavin describes Tongass—the largest coastal rain forest in North America—as the "crown jewel" of the National Forest System, highlighting its ecological and economic importance.

    "Coastal rainforests are globally rare, constituting just 0.5 percent of the earth's total forested area, and play a critical role in the delivery of nutrients to the oceans," he said. "The highly productive rivers and streams of the Tongass support commercial and sport fisheries totaling $1 billion in annual value, and subsistence fisheries that are the lifeblood of the local southeast Alaska communities."

    "Recreation and tourism on the Tongass provide another $1 billion annually to the regional economy. The vestigial timber industry now provides less than 1 percent of regional employment and wages, but the unsustainable nature of clearcut logging creates an outsized environmental impact. The Tongass can support the region's thriving subsistence, fishing, recreation and tourism industries over time, but those sustainable industries need a healthy forest in order to continue. Clearcutting that forest contributes little to the economy and takes away from the real value of the Tongass," he said.

    This is a tragic decision.

    The ACA will continue to be the law of the land and will be improved. The Tongass and the ACA are different, did you know that?

    Little factoid for you all. There are more trees in the United States than there were 100 years ago. In fact there are more trees globally than there were 35 years ago.

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.
