H.R. 3334, the Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act, was finally introduced into the 112th Congress. With twenty-five members of the House co-sponsoring the wildest bill on the hill, including Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) and Raul Grijalva (D-AZ),
NREPA would designate approximately twenty-three million acres of vast, wondrous roadless country in the Northern Rockies as Wilderness. Places like Weitas Creek, Cove-Mallard, Pot Mountain, and Meadow Creek would finally receive the federal protection they deserve. NREPA would also offer hope for the continued existence of native species like grizzly bear, wolves, lynx, wolverines, bull trout and steelhead.
