Nooksack River needs our help

Flowing from the high snowfields and glaciers of Mt. Baker and Mt. Shuksan, the Nooksack River system is home to salmon, bald eagles, black bears, cougars, elk, and many other fish and wildlife that need intact, wild places to survive. 
Giving the river system Wild and Scenic designation would permanently protect the health of the Nooksack River, support salmon and steelhead recovery efforts, promote sustainable recreation, and require transparent and collaborative management of the river.
That's why we started a petition to Rep. Suzan DelBene (WA-1) and Senators Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell, which says:

The Nooksack is the lifeblood for local communities that rely on river tourism, recreation, research, and restoration jobs. Support protecting 100 miles of rivers and tributaries in the upper Nooksack basin through designation under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. This will help salmon and steelhead recovery efforts, promote sustainable recreation, and require transparent and collaborative management of the river.
