Video: Rewilding Cube Cove | The Kootznoowoo Stewardship Crew

Southeast Alaska Watershed Coalition, Kootznoowoo Inc., USDA Forest Service, National Forest Foundation

The Cube Cove Restoration project is led by the Southeast Alaska Watershed Coalition, Kootznoowoo, Inc., and the USDA Forest Service - Tongass National Forest, with additional support from the National Forest Foundation. The work is taking place on Admiralty Island to restore fish and deer habitat in watersheds that have been degraded due to historic logging practices.

The Kootznoowoo Stewardship Crew is a local employment opportunity for Angoon community members to rehabilitate their traditional homelands. Over the next few years, the ‘Kootz Crew’ will remove 80 legacy culverts and 3 bridges, breach logging roads at 87 sites, restore fish habitat in 11 streams, and enhance 950 acres of riparian forest.
