Audit reveals Tongass timber sales mismanaged

That's according to a release from the Southeast Alaska Conservation Council which says the audit was obtained via a lawsuit filed by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility and a Freedom of Information request it filed. Sally Schlichting is a policy analyst for  SEACC's Tongass Forest Program.  She said it looks like the valuation was done incorrectly for both the Big Thorne and Kosciusko Island timber sales,  And she said there are some issues with how the Good Neighbor authority sale on Kosciusko Island was being carried out.

Timber audit highlights problems on two Tongass sales

(Joe Viechnicki/KFSK) An internal audit by the U.S. Forest Service says the federal agency mismanaged two timber sales. The report blames pressure to meet timber harvest targets. Mistakes meant $2 million less for habitat restoration work on the Tongass National Forest. Auditors also found the sales failed to outline planned restoration work and potentially violated conflict of interest rules among other findings. The August 2020 internal agency audit found problems with oversight and administration of two large timber sales on the Tongass National Forest in Southeast Alaska. It only saw the light of day after Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility sued for it. Jeff Ruch, Pacific director of the Maryland-based watchdog group said the report only tells part of the story.
