Victory at last for Washington’s Wild Sky Wilderness

On April 10, the U.S. Senate passed a bill that will permanently protect the Wild Sky Wilderness area of Washington State.  This area contains black bears and bald eagles that tourists travel thousands of miles to see.  It also includes some of the last remaining lowland forests that act as important corridors for wildlife habitat.  Thanks to the leadership of Senators Murray and Cantwell, and Rep. Larsen, these forests will be around for the enjoyment of generations to come.

Brief Summary

From the towering redwoods of California to the rocky coast of Maine, most people in this country have a vision of the treasured lands that make up the United States. For some, these places are an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. For others, they’re a family vacation destination, or a hiking and canoeing adventure.

Even if you’ve never visited, you know that our country wouldn’t be the same without them. Environment Nevada is standing up to the logging, mining and drilling industries, so future generations can know these places, and the species that inhabit them, like we do. We’re using state and federal defenses, in-depth research and our history of grassroots organizing to preserve the places that make our country truly America the Beautiful.
