“We’re a major part of this community and have been since 1910,” said Kevin Anton, Alcoa Chief Sustainability Officer.  “Our hydro dams are adjacent to the forest and we have employees who call this community home. We take pride in working cooperatively together to preserve the biodiversity in this very unique area which reflects a key part of Alcoa’s sustainability value.”
The forest is named after poet Joyce Kilmer, who was killed in action during World War I.
