3. This is a great honor for the Chugach National Forest and Alaska. A towering spruce from the Chugach National Forest gracing the west lawn of the U.S. Captiol building and will symbolize how the Alaskan landscape, including its public lands, sustains and inspires people who live there. Established in 1907, Chugach National Forest’s 5.4 million acres form a great arc around Prince William Sound and the Gulf of Alaska that stretches more than 200 miles from the Kenai Peninsula past the remote Copper River Delta. Its lands encompass vast recreational opportunities on the Kenai Peninsula. The Forest is a place where distinctive cultures, customs and ways of life converge. Aunituq convergence of long-held traditions of stewardship continue by the first nations of Alaska, including the Chugach, Eyak, Ahtna, And Dena’ina Athabascan. Just 50 miles south of Anchorage, the Chugach National Forest serves as the backyard to more than half of the Alaska’s population. The Forest’s 48,00 acres of lakes and 18,000 miles of streams produce more than 66 million salmon a year and hosts the largest recreation fisheries for Chinook, Sockeye, Coho salmon, and rainbow trout in the state. The Chugach National Forest is truly a “gem” where people have lived, worked and visited for generations, and Alaska Natives have fished, hunted and celebrated for more than 10,000 years. We invited you to celebrate this once in a lifetime chance for the Chugach National Forest and Alaska to provide the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree and help us find ways to highlight the people and places of Alaska.
