    Great American Outdoors Act Projects Mountains to Sound Greenway National Heritage Area

    Great American Outdoors Act projects Mountains to Sound Greenway National Heritage Area Mountains to Sound Greenway-Heritage Area Multi Asset Recreation Investment Corridor The Mountains to Sound Greenway National Heritage Area is an iconic 1.5 million-acre landscape in Washington State, stretching across the Cascade Mountains from Central Washington to Puget Sound in Seattle. The Greenway promotes a healthy and sustainable relationship between people and nature by providing nearby parks and trails, connected wildlife habitat, places for culture and tradition, world-class outdoor recreation and education, working forests and local agricultural production, and thriving communities. The Greenway is valued by a broad cross-section of society, working together as an effective coalition to conserve this place and its heritage for future generations. When Congress passed the Great American Outdoors Act in 2020, we knew how important this legislation would be to the state of Washington. For 30 years the Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust has witnessed the positive impact access to nature brings to the region for public health, habitat and wildlife, and local economies. Many public agencies, nonprofit organizations, and individuals have worked tirelessly to sustain this abundant access to nature, with outdoor recreation gaining popularity each year. As public agency budgets and staff simultaneously shrink, the backlog of much-needed maintenance for trails and recreation areas has grown dramatically. The Great American Outdoors Act offers part of the solution to this maintenance backlog for public land management agencies, and will benefit all people who live, work and play in the Mountains to Sound Greenway and in public lands across the country.

As agreed with your office, we gathered information on areas managed by two agencies: the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management (BLN) and the Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service. Specifically, this report provides information on (1) legislative guidance and the agency policies governing wilderness study area management, (2) the various activities and uses occurring in the agencies’ study areas, (3) the ways these activities and uses affect the areas, and (4) agency actions to monitor and restrict these uses and to repair damage resulting from them. Appendixes I and II provide data on the number, acreage, and locations of wilderness study areas managed by BLM and the Forest Service, as well as data on the types of uses occurring in the areas.

    THE WILD CASCADES April - May 1971 2 the WILD CASCADES TRAILBIKES and STUMPS: the PROPOSED MT

    THE WILD CASCADES April - May 1971 2 THE WILD CASCADES TRAILBIKES AND STUMPS: THE PROPOSED MT. ST. HELENS RECREATION AREA Having clearcut all the way up to the moraines on three sides of the volcano, the U. S. Forest Service now proposes to designate the ruins as a Mt. St. Helens Recreation Area. At public informational meetings in Vancouver on April 21, the plan was described in detail. As the map shows, the area includes the mountain, Spirit Lake, the St. Helens Lava Caves, and the Mt. Margaret Backcountry. Not much timber — and logging will continue in the Recreation Area, though under the direction of landscape architects (formerly known as logging engineers). Motor­ ized travel is allowed on most trails, the Hondas and hikers and horsemen all mixed together in one glorious multiple-use muddle. Spirit Lake is no longer a place to commune with spirits, not with water-skiers razzing around. Conservationists at the April 21 meetings criticized the proposal as little more than an attempt to give a touch of sexiness to the miserable and deteriorating status quo. There are recreation areas and recreation areas. (That's what Disneyland is, after all.) This adminis­ tratively-designated recreation area would be a far cry from, for example, the Lake Chelan National Recreation Area, or the proposed Alpine Lakes National Recreation Area, which have (or are proposed to have) a much higher degree of protection — protection guaranteed by Congress. The officials of Gifford Pinchot National Forest are friendly, decent folk, and hopefully are good listeners. If so, their final proposal, to be revealed next fall or winter, and subjected to further commentary at public hearings before adoption, will be considerably enlarged in size of area included and improved in quality of management.
