You're right- our management practices have created some serious moose/elk/deer habiat, but the salmo is the last stronghold for caribou, wolverine, griz, lynx, fisher... Just because it's not full of huntable species doens't mean it's useless to wildlife.

There is no plan to add 355k acres to the salmo. I Do not have any idea where that number or idea came from, but it's not a consideration at all.

:yeah:
I don't know anything about adding to the Salmo, but we have plenty of land open to logging that is great habitat for deer and elk. I'll take more roadless country any day.

Theresa's a big difference between wilderness an National Park:yeah:
Everything they want to add to the (NC)NP is already wildernessActually not. There is very little or zero present Wilderness in the proposed NCNP addition. Much of the land was logged in the fifties to (?) late seventies, and was thought of as unsuited to Wilderness using the more stringent criteria of Wilderness which was common in the NW up to about 1984.

Theresa's a big difference between wilderness an National Park. Everything they want to add to the NP is already wilderness. The only thing it would gain is limiting access and user groups like hunters. You want to talk about something that really pisses me off lets delve into the NC NP expansion. :bash:
That's right. Also- don't be confused by the terms backcountry and wilderness. Backcountry is not defined by any political definition.
