Legislation
Opportunities: The Good and the Bad
Virginia Wilderness Bill! The Ridge and Valley Act of 2005, introduced in late April by U.S. Representative Rick Boucher (D-VA) and U.S. Senator John Warner (R-VA), will protect approximately 55,000 acres of Virginia 's Jefferson National Forest .
Healthy Forest Restoration Act of 2003
A seriously flawed bill that was recently signed into law. It leaves old growth forests unprotected, limits the public's right to get involved, and actually worsens insect outbreaks.
See how the Southern Appalachians did!
