Toghotthele Mission

While rooted in our cultural heritage, we are committed to profitability and stewardship of our lands for the current and future generations. 

 

Toghotthele Guiding Principles

• Manage our affairs in a fiscally and ethically responsible manner to ensure a healthy and viable corporation.
• Ensure a reasonable and consistent return for our shareholders.
• Balance passive and active investments.
• Support the education, employment and advancement for our shareholders.
• Make a positive contribution to the sustainable development of the community of Nenana.
• Promote, protect and respect our way of life in all decisions.

Toghotthele Corporation owns over 138,000 acres spread around Alaska's interior. This land supports subsistance activities such as fishing, firewood cutting, hunting, and berry picking.  We have some of the Interior's most productive forestlands along the banks of the Tanana River and upland on the Nenana Ridge.  Meanwhile out in Nenana and Minto Flats, there is opportunity for oil and gas development and productive agricultural land.

If we want our land to continue to provide these benefits into the future, we have to care for our land and develop our resources responsibly and sustainably.  For over thirty years, Toghotthele has combined conservation activities with our timber and gravel operations to provide local jobs while ensuring the resources will be around to provide subsistance and employment for future generations.

Our forest resources are one of our corporation's most valuable assets.  The woods along the Tanana River and on the Nenana Ridge provide shareholders with opportunities to cut firewood, harvest berries, and hunt for moose, bears, ducks, and grouse.  In this way, we stay in touch with our culture and maintain our independence.

The woods also provide economic opportunity and shareholder jobs.  Trees are a renewable resource and we are working to build a sustainable industry that can provide jobs while protecting the forests for future generations.  We are actively working to improve our forests through tree planting, insect and disease prevention, safe and responsible harvesting, minimal environmental impact, transplanting and restoration.  Every year we acquire new equipment and expertise, and work to produce new products, such as cabin kits, wood chips and pellets that help the local economy.
