The proposed Seneca Creek wilderness is our largest wilderness candidate. This area is one of the largest unprotected roadless areas in the eastern United States and is the crown jewel of the Citizens’ Wilderness Proposal. The creek itself has been rated as one of America’s top 100 trout streams with a naturally reproducing population of native brook trout. Because of the lack of disturbance in the watershed, Seneca Creek and its tributaries have a very high water quality. Seneca Creek is legendary for the backcountry recreation opportunities it contains but is currently threatened by oil and gas development going on all around it’s border. Wilderness designation is critical to keep this area wild and wonderful.
