Our mission is ‘to protect and advance the natural and cultural history of Idaho’s Sawtooth-Salmon River Country through preservation and education.' 2020 has certainly been a year to move past. As we began planning for a robust season of operations, COVID-19 changed our course of action. Like for many, it was a challenging year. Thanks to the leadership of our Executive Director, Lin Gray, and our Kokanee spawning in Fishhook Creek by Jill Parker Lead Naturalist, Hannah Fake, along with our dedicated board members, we were able to strategically plan for operations this summer. Our leadership team took health and safety seriously and we emerged successfully with a modified approach to our typical programming. While income was down significantly in SIHA bookstores, we were able to welcome visitors to the Stanley Museum, Redfish Visitor Center & Gallery, spend more time engaging with the increased traffic at trailheads, and keep a sense of some normalcy with our Forum and Lecture Series.

It created the legal definition of wilderness in the United States and protected several millions of acres of feder- al land. The Wilderness Act is well know for its poetic and clear definition of wilder- ness: “A wilderness, in contrast with those areas where man and his own works dominate the landscape, is hereby recognized as an area where the earth and its “It is a wholesome and neces- community of life are untrammeled (uncontrolled) by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain.” In its own words, the Wilderness Act sought to: sary thing for us to turn again “assure that an increasing population, accompanied by expanding settlement and growing mechanization, does not occupy and modify all areas within the U.S. and to the earth and in the contem- its possessions, leaving no lands designated for preservation and protection in plation of her beauties to their natural condition…” know of wonder and humility.” Keep Wilderness Wild and Clean: All summer, volunteers can help clean the Sawtooth Wilderness and join the Sawtooth Society for an end of season celebra- - Rachael Carson tion (date to be announced).

    FOREST SERVICE AND BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT Sawtooth National Recreation Area and Jerry Peak Wilderness Addition Hemingway-Boulders, Jim McClure-Jerry Peak and White Clouds Wilderness Areas Interim Maps and Guidelines 2016 “A wilderness, in contrast with those areas where man and his own works dominate the landscape, is hereby recognized as an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled (wild and free from human control or manipulation) by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain. An area of wilderness is further defined to mean … an area of undeveloped Federal land retaining its primeval character and influence, without permanent improvements or human habitation, which is protected and managed so as to preserve its natural conditions…” —The Wilderness Act, 1964 U.S. President Barack Obama signed into law Congressman Mike Simpson’s legislation creating three new Wilderness areas in Idaho. The legislation, The Sawtooth National Recreation Area and Jerry Peak Wilderness Additions Act (P.L. 114-46), was signed August 7, 2015, in a signing ceremony at the White House. The Sawtooth National Recreation Area and Jerry Peak Wilderness Additions Act designates three areas as part of the National Wilderness Preservation System, including the Jim McClure-Jerry Peak Wilderness (116,898 acres), White Clouds Wilderness (90,769 acres) and Hemingway-Boulders Wilderness (67,998 acres). These protected areas preserve 275,665 acres of high mountain backcountry with crystal lakes and abundant wildlife. The U.S. Forest Service manages federal lands within the newly designated wilderness areas with the exception of more than 24,000 acres of the Jim McClure-Jerry Peak Wilderness, and 450 acres of the White Clouds Wilderness which is managed by the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
