Senator Murray & Representative Kilmer Reintroduce Wild Olympics Bill

Truly proud to have been a part of this effort.

U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) and U.S. Representative Derek Kilmer (D-WA-06) have reintroduced the Wild Olympics Wilderness & Wild and Scenic Rivers Act to permanently protect more than 126,500 acres of Olympic National Forest as wilderness and 19 rivers and their major tributaries, a total of 464 river miles, as Wild and Scenic Rivers. Designed through extensive community input to protect ancient forests, clean water, and salmon streams as well as enhance outdoor recreation, the legislation would set aside the first new wilderness on Olympic National Forest in nearly three decades and the first-ever protected wild and scenic rivers on the Olympic Peninsula.
