FEDERATION OF WESTERN OUTDOOR CLUBS







No. 21
WASHINGTON WILDERNESS

                
The Federation of Western Outdoor Clubs reaffirms its 1977 Resolutions No. 27 and No. 29, and 1980 Resolution No. 19, all supporting wilderness classification for the Cougar Lake/Green Water River Area, the Kettle Range, the Boulder River Valley, and Mt. Baker Area, respectively.


The Federation further supports wilderness designation for the following areas in Washington State:


The Clearwater area north of Mt. Rainier National Park, with its fine old-growth forests and spectacular views.


The Dark Divide (lowland forest, open ridgetops and meadows) and Indian Heaven (beautiful hiking country with more than 100 lakes and ponds) area, roadless islands in the heavily roaded Pinchot Forest.


The roadless areas bordering Glacier Peak Wilderness, including the lowland valleys north of Stevens Pass.


The Lake Chelan-Sawtooth area, with its fragile alpine ridges and forests of the Granite Creek valley.


The semi-arid steppes and juniper groves of the Juniper Forest.


The Rugged ridges and fishing rivers of the Olympic Skyline.


The red cedar rainforests of the Salmo-Priest area, providing habitat for grizzlies, caribou, and many other animals.


Additions to the existing Mt. Adams, Goat Rocks, and Pasayten Wilderness, which would provide more ecologically-rational boundaries.


The addition of the remainder of the Tatoosh Range to Mount Rainier National Park.


The Federation of Western Outdoor Clubs also urges that the sufficiency language compromise which was included in the California Wilderness Bill be included as part of any Washington Wilderness Legislation.
