If passed, the proposed legislation would designate approximately 108,000 acres of Wilderness in the Devil’s Staircase and Wild Rogue areas, protect 252 miles of rivers across Oregon as Wild and Scenic, and safeguard more than 119,000 acres of the Rogue and Molalla Rivers as Recreation Areas. The legislation would also withdraw an important section of the Chetco River from new mining claims.
