MOUNT SAINT HELENS | |
|
|
||
| Mount Saint Helens has
long been considered an important scenic, scientific, and recreational
resource, and for many years conservationists have been working to
obtain additional protection for the mountain and surrounding
areas. The mountain's 1980 eruption attracted world-wide
attention and created important new scientific research opportunities
to study the geology of active volcanoes and natural ecological
recovery processes. All these values are now being protected
through the creation of Mount Saint Helens National Monument. |

Outdoor Clubs congratulates Congressman Don Bonker, working together
with Senators Slade Gorton and Henry Jackson, other members of the
Washington State Congressional delegation, the Mount Saint Helens
Protective Association, the Mount Saint Helens Hiking Club, and the
Cascade Chapter of the Sierra Club for the successful effort to achieve
final passage and Presidential approval of the legislation creating the
Mount Saint Helens National Monument. |
