PETERSBURG, AK Alaska’s congressional delegation has introduced legislation that would exempt Alaska’s two national forests from the nationwide Roadless Rule. The rule prohibits new roads and development on nearly 60 million acres of unroaded forest across the country, including parts of Alaska’s Tongass and Chugach National Forests. However Alaska’s senators and congressmen say the rule will limit timber and mining jobs along with energy development.
