The Wild and Scenic Rivers Act is the nation’s preeminent river protection law, designed to safeguard values like native fish and clean water by maintaining rivers in their free-flowing condition. Our first conservation win, just one year after our formation, utilized this law to protect 1400 river miles on 40 iconic Oregon rivers. Currently, we have campaigns in Montana, Oregon, and Washington to designate more rivers under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act.
