Nabesna Forest

The Nabesna River descends from the Wrangell Mountains into the upper Tanana lowlands, where forests, marshes and lakes spread across the valley. Black and white spruce grow among birch and poplar, with bogs and streams breaking up the woodland. This country belongs to the traditional lands of the Upper Tanana people, whose families travelled seasonally along the Nabesna, Chisana and Tanana rivers. The mountains and river valleys also connected them with their Ahtna neighbours to the south and west.
