SE Alaska Restoration Projects Map Now Available |
One of the main purposes of the Restoration Committee is to coordinate and share information on existing restoration efforts in SE Alaska. The committee recently began compiling examples of restoration projects that have either been completed, are ongoing, or are planned for the near future. This is not an exhaustive list, but a few representative examples of restoration. Check out the interactive map to see photos and descriptions of the projects. Go to the Restoration Committee page for more detailed project descriptions. Please note that this map is a work in progress and will be edited and expanded over time.
