Protect Clearwater Basin

A diverse group is gathered to protect north central Idaho’s Clearwater Basin, today and for future generations. The Clearwater Basin Collaborative exemplifies the best in modern land protection coalitions.

In a CBC meeting, loggers sit next to conservationists who sit next to tribal members who sit next to political representatives who sit next to agency folks, and so on. It is a formidable group, doing formidable work. They’ve come together to create solutions amidst compromise, and to set direction, all in the name of economic and environmental well-being for the region.

As an avid hiker, I applaud the CBC for working to permanently protect the most amazing and pristine places in the Clearwater Basin, while working to make sure that folks who recreate differently than I do also enjoy places designated for access.

Now is the time to protect the Clearwater Basin, and I am grateful for the CBC’s efforts. It’s important to me that one of the last best wild places receives protection and that the region’s wildlife, water and communities are safeguarded for future generations.
