We have just released a report that shows that roads in America's forests are being restored to improve water quality, habitat and recreational access.
The National Journal recently asked nine opinion leaders what's at stake for the environment as Washington's budget cuts, aka sequestration, go into effect. Wilderness Society President Jamie Williams weighed in.
With budget crises like the ones that Washington keeps facing, investing in conservation continues to be a difficult task, and programs for the great outdoors have already been cut.
This report offers a review of the accomplishments of the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration (CFLR) program, which was created in 2009 to promote job stability, reliable wood supply, forest health, and reduced emergency wildfire costs and risks.
It seems like everyone supports the Tennessee Wilderness Act. Check out this great video and see who supports it, why you should, and how you can you help!

If not properly maintained, these roads will fall apart bleeding large amounts of dirt into America’s rivers. This dirt runoff degrades stream quality and destroys fish habitat.
