From the transcript
I kind of listening to you think out loud through some of that, I wanted to revisit the primary purpose of the Haines State Forest Resource Management Area. So it's written in Alaska statute that the primary purpose for the establishment of the Haines State Forest Resource Management Area, or purposes plural, are the utilization, perpetuation, conservation and production of the land and water, including but not limited to the use of renewable and non renewable resources through multiple use management and the continuation of other beneficial uses, including traditional uses and other recreational activities. And so it's written in our enabling statute the reason and the way that the Haines State Forest Resource Management Area exists.
