Kootznoowoo Wilderness

Kootznoowoo Wilderness is a large federally designated wilderness area occupying most of Admiralty Island in Southeast Alaska. It lies within the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area and is administered by the U.S. Forest Service as part of Tongass National Forest and Admiralty Island National Monument. The wilderness stretches across roughly 979,000 acres of temperate rainforest, deep fjords, forested valleys, and rugged coastline. Ecologically, Kootznoowoo stands apart from the glacier-and-tundra landscapes that dominate much of Alaska. Its old-growth forests of Sitka spruce and western hemlock form dense, cathedral-like canopies above a lush understory of ferns and mosses. These forests support an unusually dense population of brown bears, a distinct subspecies of coastal gray wolf, and a rich assemblage of salmon, eagles, deer, and other wildlife characteristic of the Pacific Northwest coastal rainforest. For visitors and researchers, Kootznoowoo represents one of the clearest expressions of Southeast Alaska's temperate rainforest, combining near-inaccessible wilderness with a remarkably high concentration of megafauna. Its protected status preserves both an intact coastal ecosystem and the cultural landscape of the Tlingit communities who have lived on and around Admiralty Island for millennia.
