North Coast Wilderness Bill
27,000 acres in the Cache Creek area in Lake County was included in the recent unanimous approval by the Senate on Friday. The Northern California Coastal Wild Heritage Act would designate Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management lands in Napa, Lake, Humboldt, Mendocino and Del Norte counties as federal wilderness. In addition 42,000 acres in the King Range National Conservation area, coastal lands on the Lost Coast, a 27,000 acre expansion of the Yolla Bolly Wilderness in Mendocino National Forest, more than 30,000 ares in the Six Rivers National Forest, 53,000 acres in Yuki Wilderness area and 3,000 acres in the Snow Mountain area of the Mendocino National Forest.
Much thanks goes to Representative Mike Thompson, Senator Barbara Boxer, and Senator Diane Feinstein for their efforts and compromises that allowed this bill to pass. Now let's hope that Bush signs it.
