HELP US ACCOMPLISH MORE

There's more to be done in protection of the Sawtooth National Recreation Area (SNRA), and you can help us achieve some ambitious objectives. In addition to our ongoing programs, here are just a few of our ongoing initiatives:

• Encouraging the Administration, Congress and Forest Service to make the SNRA a high priority.
• Facilitating the acquisition of conservation easements on the most vulnerable-to-development properties in the SNRA.
• Funding recreational facilities and services in the SNRA
• Restoring historic log worm fences in the Sawtooth Valley and Stanley Basin.
• Promoting constructive working relationships between all who live, work and play in the SNRA.
• Supporting public and private efforts to mitigate the mountain pine beetle infestation and reduce the threat of wildfires.
• Dealing with other issues of bedrock importance to the area.
• Encouraging resolution to the long-standing debate regarding proposals to include the Boulder-White Cloud region into the National Wilderness System.
• Developing a long-term vision for the SNRA, complete with actions that need to be taken by the public and private sectors to ensure that the vision is realized for the benefit of those who live, work and recreate there.

Untrammeled development, shown in these photos, was halted with the creation of the Sawtooth National Recreation Area in 1972. Good progress was made initially in securing conservation easements that protected open space. Alarmingly, efforts to preserve open space and maintain recreation facilities have faltered in recent years.
