Recently, SMEA students Josh Hymes, Marissa Scott, Miriam Stearns, alumna Marria Peduto, and their advisor Anne Beaudreau traveled to Juneau, Alaska, to attend a meeting on subsistence resource management in the Tongass National Forest. While there, they spoke with community leaders who emphasized the importance of customary and traditional harvests for food, cultural practices, and livelihoods. The SMEA team also had an opportunity to discuss their work to develop a communication toolkit for subsistence management staff and the public.
