Today, May 3rd, was designated as “Sun Day” by Jimmy Carter to recognize solar power; still, I want to share the beauty of the shade, the mist, the rain… 🌧️🌲 #conservation #ecotourism #tongassnationalforest #alaska #southeastalaska @theboatcompany_ #nationalforest @TongassNF

Nature never fails to display her beauty in surprise and delicacy. I only hope we can continue to treat her the way she treats us. #conservation #stewardship #ecotourism #tongassnationalforest #alaska #southeastalaska #roadlessrule #conservationexpert @theboatcompany_ @TongassNF

Why #eco-tourism? It offers us an opportunity to rekindle that sense of wonder, to breathe in the crisp mountain air, to feel the soft caress of the ocean breeze, and to witness the vibrant tapestry of life that surrounds us. #tongassnationalforest #roadlessrule #theboatcompany

Sometimes on our nonprofit, small-ship cruises (@TheBoatCompany), the random float plane is about the only other sign of human life we see for 6 days. #conservation #tongassnationalforest #roadlessrule #conservationexpert @hunterhartfordmcintosh #southeastalaska #insidepassage

When the light strikes just right. You see things differently than you did before. A circumstance you've come complacent with reveals new options. Beauty moves you. Choices are different. When the light strikes just right. #conservation #tongassnationalforest #roadlessrule

Words don't do it justice. Fishing poles. Fog. Quiet. Greenery. Forest. The Tongass 🌲 #TongassNationalForest #FishingLife #NatureLovers #OutdoorAdventure #GetOutside #NaturePhotography #conservationexpert #alaska

The #TongassNationalForest is the largest national forest in the United States: 16.8 million acres. About 40% of that is actually water - teaming with wildlife - stunning glaciers, muskeg and other rock. But oh, the forest that inhabits the rest... 🌲💛 #conservation #alaska
