Forest Service Moves to Protect Important Area in Idaho

On Monday the Nez Perce National Forest took action to protect a sensitive and special place in Idaho from destructive ORV use.  Reasons given by the forest include protecting wetlands and habitat for endangered species from further damage.  Idaho Conservation League, The Wilderness Society, Friends of the Clearwater, and others have been working for many years to gain protection of this area from increased and often illegal damaging ORV use.
