Located on Wrangell Island in the Alexander Archipelago, the area features dense temperate rainforest, steep mountains, and rocky coastlines. The Stikine River delta creates fertile floodplains and extensive wetland habitats.
Small-scale farming occurs primarily in cleared forest areas and river valleys, focusing on hardy vegetables and berries that can tolerate the cool, wet climate. Greenhouse operations and small livestock operations serve local markets, while wild berry harvesting supplements agricultural production.
