Sitka Spruce Plantation, also known as The Forest or AHRS UNL-074, is the first afforestation site in North America, in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska. By this project, the Russians, in 1805, sought to make the Unalaska community self-sufficient in timber.

It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1978.^[1][2]
