Description
Arnold Bolle describes how the public played a pivotal role in the designation and protections of specific wilderness areas in Montana such as the Bob Marshall and Great Bear Wildernesses and other locations around Lincoln and the Blackfoot River. Bolle explains how U.S. representatives from Montana such as Max Baucus, Lee Metcalf and Pat Williams and organizations such as The Wilderness Society promoted the establishment of wilderness areas in order to protect public lands from being decimated by clear cutting and road building. He also mentions problems with timber harvests (ASQ) and overall forest health are also mentioned.
