The Bluesource - Shaan Seet Improved Forest Management Project is an improved forest management project on Prince of Wales Island in the Alaskan Panhandle, owned and managed by Shaan Seet, Inc. It includes higher elevation regions, recently deglaciated lands, wetlands, beach fringes and 7,000 acres of old-growth forest. The now-protected forestland was used in the 1980s to supply timber to nearby timber corporations and pulp mills. More recently, Canadian mill demand for pulpwood from Southeast Alaska has driven up the price for pulp logs, which increases the potential for aggressive forest management practices and shorter rotations in the region. To meet demand for wood products, areas of Shaan Seet, Inc. lands, which were actively managed for timber, were clear cut using helicopter or cable logging. Without the project, the area could feasibly resemble that of other industrial forestland in the region. The project will protect the land from development over the next 40 years and ensure continued environmental benefits through the preservation of old-growth sections of forestland. In addition to preservation, the project helps protect five different species of fish including sockeye salmon, coho salmon, chum salmon, pink salmon and steelhead trout.
