This white paper presents the results of a national‐scale overlay of watershed condition data on three general types of land management categories in the 193 million‐acre National Forest System — designated wilderness, inventoried Roadless Areas and all other lands.
Our national forests play a valuable role to ensure a healthy ecosystem for humans and wildlife. How we manage our forests now will have lasting impacts for generations to come.
The Shoshone is unique in the quantity and quality of wilderness and roadless areas. We’re defending these wild lands against reckless development and road building.
As the nation’s first national forest, the Shoshone is uniquely wild and scenic. More than half is designated as wilderness and another 30 percent is considered pristine.
The Wilderness Society has already been successful in protecting some parts of the Southern Appalachians. With your help we can continue to build on these successes.
Working with our Sierra Nevada partners, The Wilderness Society is protecting more wild lands, and helping with forest planning and restoration and improving forest health.
