I ask for your support to protect the Green River valley near Mount St. Helens from industrial-scale mining exploration and development. The unique landscape of the Green River valley was shaped by the many eruptions of Mount St. Helens, and provides exceptional recreational opportunities such as hiking, hunting, horseback riding, and biking. The cool, clean waters of the Green River, a proposed Wild and Scenic River, support federally-listed wild steelhead populations, recreational fisheries, and supply water to downstream communities. Many of the lands in the mining proposal were acquired by the Forest Service with Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) money for conservation and recreation purposes. The Green River valley is public land, bordering a national icon, and its protection needs your leadership. Please help us permanently protect the Green River valley from mining exploration and development.
