FEDERATION OF WESTERN OUTDOOR CLUBS










ADDITION TO THE SMITH RIVER NATIONAL RECREATION AREA

The Smith River National Recreation Area (NRA) was established in 1990 to include all national forest lands in California in the Smith River watershed.  The Smith River and all major tributaries are components of the Federal Wild and Scenic River System and are also given additional protection from logging, mining, etc.  Approximately 40,000 acres of the watershed of the north fork of the Smith are in Oregon and were not included in the NRA.  The area in Oregon should be given the same protection as the rest of the Smith River and included in the NRA.  Conservationists in Oregon and northern California have expressed support for inclusion of the Smith River watershed in Oregon in the NRA.

The Federation of Western Outdoor Clubs recommends that the approximately 40,000 acres of the North Fork Smith River watershed in Oregon be added to the Smith River National Recreational Area.
