From The Wilderness Society: [March 25, 2009 -link to homepage above]
Tremendous news! Congress has finally passed the monumental piece of wilderness legislation that you've been helping to push forward.
Thank you for making this dream a reality! I cannot tell you how huge today is for wilderness history. The passage of the Omnibus Public Land Management Act provides the largest expansion of our wilderness system in some 15 years. It means protection for more than 2 million acres of special wild lands, rivers and cultural sites throughout the nation, and it makes the National Landscape Conservation System official.
Our staff members have sunk their hearts into working on various components of the legislation for years, and we could not have been successful without your support!
