Support Wilderness in the Allegheny!

Pennsylvania’s Allegheny National Forest is a rare wild treasure in the East. Wild turkey, white-tailed deer, black bear and more than 300 other wildlife species call the forest home, and more than half the visitors to the forest list wildlife watching, hiking, or viewing natural scenery as the activities that draw them to the Allegheny. However, the Forest Service has failed to protect many of the forest’s unique and wild places in its draft management plan for the Allegheny. Help protect this scenic national forest by telling the Forest Service to expand their wilderness recommendations for the Allegheny.

The Scotchman Peaks are a rugged, scenic and biologically diverse wild place straddling the border of northern Idaho and Montana. Unfortunately, the Bush Administration’s Forest Service has proposed a plan for the Kootenai National Forest that eliminates recommended wilderness across the entire forest, including portions of the Scotchman Peaks which have been managed since the 1970s as recommended wilderness, a designation which safeguards these areas from logging and development.

This sweeping change goes against the desires of the local community to preserve these forests as they are for future generations to use and enjoy. As stakeholders in the future of this irreplaceable landscape, your voice is important. Please ask the Kootenai National Forest planning team to reinstate the recommended wilderness in their final forest plan.

Act Now – Protect Idaho’s Wild Heart!

We expect a vote on Monday, July 24, on H.R. 3603, legislation introduced by Rep. Simpson (R-ID) to protect more than 300,000 acres of the Boulder-White Cloud Mountains as wilderness. The bill is a compromise crafted with input from many stakeholders, however the proposed wilderness area is the largest of any legislation ever introduced by an Idaho legislator. Urge your Representative to vote YES on Boulder-White Clouds wilderness!
