Smith River Recreation Area Expansion and Oregon Wild River Protection
This act expands the boundaries of the Smith River National Recreation Area, adding new lands in Oregon. It also designates numerous river segments in Oregon as "wild rivers," providing stronger environmental protection. This means more protected natural areas for recreation, but also new management rules for visitors.
Key points
The Smith River National Recreation Area will be expanded to include new lands, including in Oregon, increasing access to green spaces.
Many rivers and their tributaries in Oregon will be protected as "wild rivers," meaning restrictions on development and preservation of their natural environment.
The act mandates studies of new areas to fully protect their natural values and requires cooperation with Indian Tribes regarding access and cultural information.
Area management will include wildfire prevention and vegetation management, as well as the application of existing forest protection plans.
