61 MARCH 2026 Raptor Center, Sitka Trail Works and Alaska Longline Fishing Association. The Boat Company was founded in 1979 after Michael McIntosh, Sr. was inspired by a two-week journey in Alaska. His intention was to support conservation of the Southeastern Alas- ka wilderness, and his legacy is contin- ued by his son, Hunter McIntosh. McIntosh noted that educating people about the importance of preserving wilderness areas is more important than ever, because the Tongass is un- der siege by special interests that want to roll back protections and extract its abundant resources by repealing the “Roadless Rule,” a rule that protects public lands from road-building and subsequent logging and mining.
