Wild & Scenic Rivers

Southwest Oregon's wild rivers bill is on the move! If you don't already know, Senator Ron Wyden introduced the River Democracy Act earlier this year and it just got its first hearing in the Senate Subcommittee last month. This is a crucial first action necessary for the bill to “graduate” up to a full committee vote, and subsequently a full Senate vote, which is one step closer to the President's desk. Here in southwestern Oregon this bill will designate certain river segments and its tributaries like the Upper and Lower Rogue River, West and East Fork Illinois River, Rough and Ready Creek, and Sucker Creek, to name a few, as components of the National Wild and Scenic River System.
