The news you've been waiting to hear: First Things First and about a dozen organizations, companies and individuals along with the State of Alaska, are suing the federal government to abolish the Tongass Roadless Rule, which if adopted, would decimate the economy in SE Alaska. We've ponied up $5,000 today for this effort and we need your contributions, no matter how small. Learn more on our website.

The US Forest Service has unilaterally decided to close off 92 percent of the Tongass National Forest by implementing new roadless rule regulation, which will be applied to future development, including timber harvests, mining, and hydroelectric and other renewable energy projects.

Welcome to our new page. Facebook is updating its processes and the existing First Things First Alaska Foundation page will be going away. Unfortunately, so will all of our "friends" unless you accept our new request. We don't want to lose you so please accept! And don't forget to recommend us to your other friends as well. Thanks.
