Forever Wild!
Wild Mon Act passed by Congress
March 25, 2009
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Roughly 37,000 acres of West Virginia's
Monongahela National Forest will now be permanently protected as Wilderness,
after the House of Representatives passed the Omnibus Public Lands
Management Act of 2009.
Included in the
omnibus was the Wild Monongahela Act, which expands the popular
Dolly Sods, Cranberry and Otter Creek Wilderness Areas.
Additionally, Big Draft, Spice Run and Roaring Plains West stand to
be protected as newly established Wilderness areas.

After a diverse grassroots movement of West
Virginians including members of the
faith community, business owners,
organizational leaders,
health
care professionals, and elected officials
came together with a common vision, historic legislation to protect
the wildest places on the state's federal public land is now just
steps away from becoming a reality. How will you make a
difference in keeping West Virginia Wild and Wonderful?
