SB 127-SOUTHEAST STATE FOREST 3:33:47 PM CHAIR OLSON announced the consideration of SB 127. DEAN BROWN, Deputy Director, Division of Forestry, Department of Natural Resources, said SB 127 creates a state forest in Southeast Alaska with 20 parcels totaling 25,291 acres. They are general-use lands on Prince of Wales, Kosciusko, Tuxekan, Gravina, Heceta, and Revilla islands as well as one parcel on the mainland. These lands will be open for multiple uses like mining, recreation, and logging. The bill will not affect Wrangell's land selections. The bill will allow the state to invest in long-term intensive forest management, like thinning. There is a supportive resolution from Coffman Cove. The Board of Forestry and the Alaska Miners Association support the bill. It will increase forest productivity and multiple uses and will benefit communities and industry. 3:36:54 PM SENATOR THOMAS moved to report SB 127 from committee with individual recommendations and attached fiscal note(s). There being no objection, SB 127 moved out of committee. 3:37:44 PM The committee took a brief at-ease.
