This is an interesting concept. There is interest in this approach in the Tongass although it is very small and certainly has not been excepted as an answer yet. My fear is something like this would never be excepted by the environmental community in the Tongass because the way our present system works they have so much power and can litigate things almost endlessly. In effect if they were to agree to something like this it would likely mean a loss of their ability to promote their agenda and a loss of an issue with which to raise funding.

I am involved in the timber industry in a small way in the Tongass and have mentioned an approach, just like this, to friends of mine that are involved in a large environmental organization. They always seem to have an issue why they don't like the concept. Presently the Forest Service is looking at decommissioning many cabins they maintain as they are to costly to keep up. I proposed keeping the cabins maintained as part of future logging contracts, there by tying recreation and logging together in this area and making it in everyone’s interests to see the cabins maintained. I'd like to push this more and see if it could gain some serious traction.

I think this is the right approach. Everyone has to be a stakeholder and want to see a process like this move forward or it most likely won't work.
