Wild Sky Becomes First New Wilderness in 24 Years
On May 8, 2008, President Bush signed into law the Wild Sky Wilderness Act as part of the Consolidated Natural Resources Act of 2008, creating the first new national forest wilderness area in Washington State in more than 20 years. Washington Wild and other conservation organizations praised Congressman Larsen and Senator Murray for their unwavering commitment to Washington’s one-of-a-kind wild lands, and for all of the people who will enjoy this special place now and into the future.
